A lot of good points made in that article. I agree that a change is needed as well, and I think it's a horrible idea that they are trying to turn the Combine into more of an entertainment spectacle. That's the one event a year where the focus is solely on coaches, FO types, etc. evaluating players. Don't turn it into something stupid that offers no evaluation to the coaches while making it more fan friendly.

Not mentioned in the article, but they should really make the players run the 40 in full gear.

I like that idea. The 40 is nothing more than a spectacle anyways, what part of it applies to what players do on the field anyway? How many players on the field run in a straight line for 40 yards at full speed anyways? Linemen shouldn't even have to run it anyways.
