The 2011 NFL Combine Discussion Thread

For the life of me I don't understand why anyone would watch football players do olympic type stuff. I tune in too but after a few minutes I have to turn it. It's just too painful to watch.

I usually just listen to it really. Love listening to Lombardi break stuff down.

Combine focus: Mallett melts, Newton shines - NFL - Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=jc-newtonmallettinterviews022611)

While I'm not a Mallett supporter by any stretch, that basically came off as a "kiss Newton's ass" piece more than anything. It was almost as though the writer had an agenda. I agree Mallett would do himself a world of good being candid and contrite, did anyone really expect him to wow people with his interviews? And did anyone really expect Newton to do anything other than interview well?
Nothing has changed in my mind, pass on both.

Julio Jones is fast. Way faster than Mayock predicted (4.52).

Cam Newton is a physical specimen, jumping 10' 6". Julio Jones looking good on the gauntlet drill after a running 4.39/40.

Mallet knows how to lead a WR.

Mallet throws a pretty ball no doubt

Mallett = Ryan Leaf

Mallett = Ryan Leaf

Dude cmon really. I was thinking Mallet = Rivers. He throws a tight ball

Cam ran a respectable 4.58/40.

Locker 4.52 40 yard dash.. Pretty good
