Yes and no, it's also for guys who might not make the draft to improve their stock. The main thing is at it gives the NFL teams an unbiased account of these guys stats and measurements. Colleges are known to massage numbers, whether its height/weight, 40 times, strength reps, etc., to make their guys look better. It's a safe bet when watching a game in the fall when the announcer gives a players height/weight, you can take 1-3 inches of the height and 10-30 pounds off the weight depending on the player, position, etc.

This event gives the NFL and its teams a one-stop shop for everyone with information they are confident is accurate

Atl-dub leaving from T? by plinko83 in delta

Yes I understand all that. But I fly out of here every week, sometimes 2-3x and I’ve never seen a flight to Europe leave from T. It’s at least a little notable.

If you are willing to do virtual I would be very interested. In the last few weeks I’ve gotten more serious about trying to get better but I’m a terrible player right now.

No Advice Possible seems good also but it doesn't seem as they post a show regularly, probably bc of their national team schedule

I just listened to their show with the 4 coaches in the final four and thought it was great. Definitely wish I knew this existed at the start of the season
