It’s NFL Combine time again.  So, what does that mean?  Well, observing players in the Combine is not exactly like watching practice and its miles away from gameday, but it does whet our whistles for all things professional football.  Also, it reminds us that the NFL Draft is less than 2 months away; a fact [...]

The NFL Combine is an interesting beast.  It puts a lot of emphasis on some qualities that aren’t usually all that important in a player, especially a quarterback.  But this is the way it’s been done for years, and the NFL likes it that way.  So here are a couple of things we’ve found out [...]

During an impressive NFL Network interview that may have just propelled Cam Newton to the #1 overall draft pick, the former Auburn quarterback let something slip.  He mentioned, quite directly, that he’d met with the Dallas Cowboys on Friday night of the NFL Combine.  He tried to deftly cover it up later in the interview, [...]

There was an interview.  Ryan Mallet was there.  But that was about it.  After dodging several questions about his drug use and ‘character issues’, the interview ended abruptly with the press learning only one thing about the 6′6″ signal caller out of Arkansas.  He plays football, the quarterback position specifically.  Paul Kuharsky reports:

Now, it’s not the first time [...]

When you’re sitting at the NFL Draft with the #1 pick, you’ll either strike gold or end up with something on par with Ryan Leaf.  Okay, NO one is on par with Ryan Leaf.  That guy’s suck was clearly epic.  Nevertheless, it’s usually boom or bust.  So, for the Carolina Panthers to seriously consider investing [...]

Auburn’s Cam Newton has been projected by draft experts to fall anywhere between #3 and #10 in April’s NFL Draft.  Mel Kiper, Jr. thought he’d be an excellent fit for the woeful Buffalo Bills and ranked him at #3.  But others think MU’s Blaine Gabbert will be picked higher than Newton, despite Newton’s incredible athletic [...]

In a strategic move that will probably pay off in the end, Blaine Gabbert will ‘run’ at the NFL Combine this weekend, but won’t throw.  Gabbert is already a hot prospect, projected to go the the Tennessee Titans at #8.  But Gabbert and agent Tom Condon want to make sure his stock remains high.  According [...]
