2019 NFL Combine: 10 players who bombed
By Joe Romano
The 2019 NFL Combine has wrapped up from Indianapolis, not everyone there is happy with their performance.
After the Super Bowl there is a bit of a lull in the NFL leading into the offseason. That is unless you are a dedicated follower of all things NFL draft. If you are then you likely watched as executives and coaches flocked to Mobile, Alabama for the Senior Bowl. The next iteration for us draft fanatics is the annual NFL Scouting Combine.
The NFL’s annual tradition in Indianapolis is the largest job interview running. It is a place where the league gathers en masse to watch college football players do drills in hopes to impress. It is also where teams can begin discussing transactions and league items before the true start of the league year.
Unfortunately the combine does not always go well for these prospects. This large stage brings a lot of pressure. Nevermind the fact that these guys are put through the ringer before actually being tested. Once they step on the field, the majority of the event is already behind them.
A bad combine does not always mean a bad professional career. Even last year, Oklahoma’s Orlando Brown had a historically bad showing. Despite that he was selected in the third round and went on to be a starter by the end of the season. Historically we’ve seen plenty of players have bad showings in Indianapolis and go onto productive NFL careers.
Here are ten players who wish they had another go at this NFL Combine thing.
