The NFL Network channel will televise the NFL Combine 2010 event again for several days. There are 329 college players expected to attend the event with over 700 NFL front office personnel for the six day event. Players will go through a week long extensive testing on their athletic, intellectual and psychological abilities by the 32 staffs of each NFL club. Extensive front office personnel including GMs, coaches, directors, scouts and medical personnel will represent each NFL team. Each club will interview up to 62 players over the six day event. NFL Draft 2010 prospects will be put through a series of tests both physical and mental in the biggest sports job market in the business. Once again, many prospects are expected to avoid parts or the entire workout, opting for the friendly confines of their school's track on a pro day in March/ April.
The NFL Combine gives players a chance to impress pro scouts on a level playing field vs all competitors. The entire workout will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium for the second year after years at the old RCA Dome that had a reputation of being a notoriously slow surface thru the early ‘90s before improving over its final years. The new stadium’s surface creates a different yardstick in evaluating speed that should once again prove interesting from a timing perspective for prospects over the 6 day event.
