2026 Combine Thread

Thats kind of my thing, I want to see how much of an athlete a guy is. Great athletes can roll out of bed and rock it. So when you tell me you're waiting for your proday, to me it says you need the super specialized training and aren't just a naturally gifted athlete. But I'm sure a lot of it is just advice being given to these guys.

I also don't trust proday numbers nearly as much. Mykel Williams last year at the Georgia proday ran anywhere from a 4.8 something to a high 4.6 something depending on who you talked to.

Exactly. You used to hear that a scout would just show up at the guy's school and time him. Didn't need to be some massive event, just show us what you can do. A decent scout isn't going to ding you for two or three thousandths of a second. Hand timing isn't that accurate anyway.

And yeah, the whole idea of the combine is that everyone is testing in the exact same conditions. No 39.5 yard or slight downhill tracks. If so many guys aren't going to run, just call it the Indy Mass Interview and Medical Exam.

Well and when you're talking about hand timed runs. It's easy for misinformation. One guy can easily claim he had a 4.67 on a stop watch while another can say they had a 4.82. And they could both be completely full of shit.
 
Good news, I'm done with court for the day so my TV in my office will not be on picture mode, I'll have it playing the combine today.

You have been posting all morning. If you have been in court, what kind of voodoo magic have you employed that allows this?
 
 
 
 
 
Howell: 6-2.50, 253, 9.25 hand, 30.25 arms (ouch) 74 wingspan
RM Thomas: 6-2.25, 241, 8.87 hand (ouch?), 31.63 arms, 78.13 wingspan

I'm thinking this doesn't help either guy. Maybe Howell is good on the weight.

I really like this guy as a chess piece. I'm curious to see what he runs but his instincts and athleticism are awesome. I really think he would be perfect for this defense. Curious to see how he runs and how high that pushes his stock.
