Well, this should be fun.
The NFL Scouting Combine is already one of the most exciting events surrounding the NFL draft, and it somehow just got even more exciting with the announcement that 16 new drills are coming to the combine.
The new additions include end zone fade routes added to the routes thrown by quarterbacks, change of direction added to the routes ran by running backs, end zone fade routes ran by receivers and tight ends, and more.
They’ve also eliminated some drills such as the pitch and cone drill for running backs, toe tap drills for receivers and more.
Each year we see prospects build some buzz for themselves with an excellent combine performance. It’ll be exciting to see which prospects set themselves apart with the addition of these new drills.
