I'm excited really, this isn't much of a discussion thread, more-so of a heads-up.

Why are you so excited about this? Just curious..

Let's see, they compete the athletes coming in from college against each other. This is where their 40 yard dash time is recorded, jumping height, long jump, basically their athletic ability is tested, It's just fun to watch to me, and IDK, I guess this could be considered the technical start to the '08 season.


Here's an official list of events.

Combine Events 40-yard dash Bench press Three cone drill Broad jump Vertical leap 20-yard shuttle 60-yard shuttle Position specific drills Physical measurements NFL team interviews The Wonderlic Test The Cybex Test Injury evaluation

I fully understand what the Combine includes but I just think it isn't that exciting knowing how fast each player can run, benchpress, etc etc.. I don't pay attention until the actual Draft.

Take a look at the NBA version's combine: Kevin Durant (one of the, if not THE, best rookie in the NBA right now) could only benchpress 170 twice or something like that. He was ridiculed out the ass for it but he's eatin' dudes up this year.

Well when your putting up 20 shots a game, your stats might look good too (in case of Durant).

Im excited for it because i hope some decent cb's olb's and s's do crappy and fall back in the draft for the Giants.

D3v, what are the Jags looking for, a big receiver or a te?

They already have a ton of tall WRs/TE. I bet they'll focus on defense.
