Football season is never over, there’s always something going on. If it’s not the constant free agent chatter or the firing and hiring of new coach’s it’s the endless trade rumors. But those are not why I love this time of year it’s the draft, and the reason is the hope and future of new talent coming to your team. Imagine your team is just one player a way from making a championship run or if your team is horrible and need many pieces. This is that one chance to better your team for the future. Tom Brady was a sixth round draft pick that did not even start his first year, but he led the New England patriots to 3 Championships in 4 years. The NFL Draft is a two day non stop event held every April. This year the draft will take place in New York on April 25 and 26.
But before we can get to the draft a lot of work needs to be done to evaluate talent and what your team needs. This leads us to the scouting combines held every year in Indianapolis . The scouting combine is like a grueling job fair for up and coming NFL prospects. Where teams get to pick and poke the talent before they decide to buy. This year’s combine begins on February 21st and runs until the February 24Th. The combine will physical test a player with a certain number of drills, such as the 40 yard dash, the bench press and various cone drills.
There is so much to cover and the time will fly bye so with that said The Detroit Lions are on the clock!
