tonyr0802 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Seems as though you should be compensated handsomely from DMD as you are the 'official Huddle rep' at the combine. Can any other FF site claim they had a rep there? Hmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwmann2 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Very cool. I would imagine it would be boring if you aren't a hardcore NFL guy. I would love to go to the event, I just live 3 hours from Indy and would never spend gas money getting there to go see it. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennykravitz2004 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Apparently, the NFL thought it good idea to have random people post videos of their 40 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tony said that cell phones are not allowed so I assume no laptops either. Can't wait to see what he saw once it's over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyr0802 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) Back from the Combine and what a great experience it was just being inside there and seeing the various drills take place. The experience: First off we were gathered into a room and reminded of the rules (no recording equipment, be library quiet, etc.) repeatedly. Someone from the NFL came in to speak to us about how this was an experiment and how they had to pitch it to the competition committee for approvals. If this goes well then most likely they'll do a repeat/expansion of it in the future. The NFL provided some swag, a program of players, breakfast and lunch. We were all gathered into a common area in the stands shortly before the first group of QB/WR's began. Being on the side the 40 was ran on was nice, but seeing the other drills like long/vertical jump was dificult as they were on the opposite side. Throughout the time there Derrick Brooks and Fred Taylor came through visiting with anyone wishing to talk to them and signing autographs. Disappointingly we were only able to stay until the second group of QB/WR's ran their 40's, didn't get to see their drills nor any of the RB's. ETA: We were also given headsets just like those used on media day for the fans. We were able to listen/watch the NFL Network broadcast of the combine. During commercials Marshall Faulk would come onto the network and talk to us giving information about what to watch/purpose of the drills. One thing I found interesting is how they would edit the broadcast so that any 40 times were removed, they didn't want the athletes knowing times of each other until everyone had ran. The Players Not that it's news to anyone, but RG3 is blazing fast. Really disappointing that he and Luck chose not to throw. Luck was a bit surprising to me, I expected him to be a bit slower than he was, definitely looked quicker than his official time. Only being able to see the first group of WR's, I can't comment much on half of them. But of the first group Stephen Hill and Michael Floyd stood out well above the rest, even above Blackmon. Hill just snatched everything that came his way and was just smoking fast. Nearly the same can be said for Floyd, both looked good. Wish I could give more feedback on the players, unfortunately it just wasn't in the cards due to the NFL having us leave part way through the day. If they open this again I'd love to go back, hopefully they do and also allow fans to be there a bit longer in the day.
