Friday Night Happy Hour: Combine Edition
by from on (#73QHQ)
Welcome to BTSC's Friday night open thread:
With the season over and NFL Draft season officially underway, I've been grinding tape, ranking prospects, writing profiles, and in general I've been burning the midnight oil to prepare draft content for BTSC. So it's exciting for a draft nerd like me to finally have the next big event of the draft cycle calendar taking place next week: The NFL Combine.
- What do you think is the most overrated drill that gets overtalked about each year? Bonus points if you give an answer other than the 40-Yard Dash.
- What do you think your score would be in the following drills (we aren't doing any tests, so be as serious or silly as you want):
- The 40-Yard Dash
- Benching 220 pounds
- Broad Jump
- Vertical Jump - Where would be the most interesting place the Combine could test player's athleticsim? It's held in Indianapolis every year, but I'm looking for creative and off-the-wall answers, ie the moon, underwater, etc.
- If we were to hold a Combine that measured our skills at everyday tasks, what's something you think you'd be elite at?
- Song of the Week: Wave of Mutilation (UK Surf Version)" - The Pixies
I've been listening to a lot of The Pixies as background music while I'm watching tape lately. So, naturally, they provide our SOTW.
