Mac Jones and certainly McCorkle Jones aren't QB names. Mac Jones is a LB/FB name. McCorkle Jones is a WR from the 70s. Every year we must go over this. Every year.

The only way to legitimately and accurately determine the footballiness of a name is to abandon all thought. You must return yourself to a native state where the only thing you know or understand is how to read phonetically.

I was thinking DT, but you're right, Mac Jones is a fantastic FB name.

People were pointing out that more analytics focused teams are just grabbing the GPS data from the schools. Who cares what a 40 time is in shorts when you can just query their top game speeds over a much greater sample size?

The Patriots rely on the 3 cone drill to draft their lovely wide receivers so I have no idea how they’ll adjust.

The Combine was always great because you’d go on Twitter or wherever in the middle of the work day and it would be a pleasant surprise that there was some football news to tide you over until free agency.

I really liked watching the gauntlet. Really stupid to have so many balls caught and dropped but it was always fun to the guys with glue hands where the ball just stops dead the second they touch it. Plus one time that dude got pegged in the head.

I don't have any problems saying it's because the Bengals never do anything in the postseason, but genuinely the pre-draft and draft is my favorite part of the NFL season.

What about the reverse when I watch DK run the three cone drill like a lumbering ox and then I'm thinking he's gonna suck and boy oh boy am I wrong



Abolish the three cone drill, DK Metcalf exposed it

The NFL combine is getting stale anyway. It needs new drills.

Combine is garbage full stop for in depth quantitative analysis but it's still valuable for seeing how players run. For instance Tristan Wirfs was a top 25 pick before the combine and after his blocking drills he catapulted up to a top discussed prospect. Same with Jedrick Wills.

It's also done under similar testing conditions and is pretty invaluable because of that. We're missing a lot without the combine this year. But yes, the drills do suck rear end and could be performed better/discarded.
