I don't see what the big deal is about when players decline to workout at the combine


Feb 28, 2020, 12:55 PM

I'm skipping the combine again this year, and I don't think I've hurt my draft stock one bit.

What baffled me were the people suggesting that NFL teams tell him that if he doesn't work out at the combine then they won't draft him.

Tee played a 45 game college schedule in three years and people seem to think that he should be punished because he is waiting until his pro day to run a 40 and some pass routes for the scouts.

It amazes me that people put more stock in a workout with 100 scouts and team officials watching than 3 or 4 years of a player playing in front of 80,000 people.

I think the combine is kinda like the SAT. It is meant to serve as a measuring stick so that you can compare speeds etc.. where everyone is being measured by the same equipment and on the same surface and same environment and you see who is faster or can jump higher or lift more under the same conditions.

Tee played on turf field, grass fields, cold weather, hot weather, tall corners, short corners, and everything else in his time at Clemson.

Also he is going to do the exercises he is missing at the Clemson pro day not long from now.

The SAT separates students who don't have the same work heading into college.

Clemson players have been put in the same situations that everybody else has in college and more than most players who will be selected.

Most of my issue is not that skipping the drills could affect his draft stock, but the main point of my issue is that people think there should be some type of punishment.

I imagine from a team point of view its about doing the same thing at the same time and getting the info for all of them. I suppose someone could theoretically shave a tenth on a time for a kid at a pro days versus the combine timing. which could still be wrong but wrong for everyone

It's usually a signal that player's handlers are trying to shield him from a poor performance in a drill-qb's not throwing, wr/40 or shuttle-& Clemson has a fast track 4 the 40
