NFL Veteran's Combine

[DomMcRaven]

From NFL.com, "capitalizing on every team's desire not to see good players fall through the cracks, the league will introduce a veteran combine set to begin this March in Arizona."

Very interesting. Thoughts?

[K-Dog]

Could be interesting.

Could be....

[GrimCoconut]

I like the concept. 

[ravensdfan]

I like the idea actually. Showcase what you still got, lets teams get an idea where a vet is currently at talent wise I suppose.

theirs a difference between a combine and an actual game. They might look good here but may suck on gameday.

[Willbacker]

Just another thing to get some ratings on the NFL channel.

It's for a camp roster spot and a chance at the 53.  No harm in taking a chance of a veteran that shows well and see if it continues into camp and the preseason.

Gives teams a chance to check on injuries and conditioning. Not the worst idea ever.

[The Raven]

Pretty cool idea if you ask me. It'd be interesting to compare NFL vet combine results with NFL rookie results.

I'd like to see DaRick Rodgers come in and rip it up. Kid is full of talent and didn't play a snap this season

Good luck to all of them...but especially the cornerbacks.

 

 I get the feeling it might be really sad to compare the 40 times between the vets and rookies.

rookies will blow the majority of them out of the water. They train specifically for this for a couple of months.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Good idea in theory 

[Gordo52]

I like it which is pretty rare for Goodell innovations.

Chiefs already picked him up on a future deal.

They got a hell of a deal

Good idea, interesting to compare how pre-draft combine numbers compare to vet numbers.

As they get older, their training changes from track and field (underwear Olympics) to football, etc
