Great anecdote!

Now, consider how the best combine performers do in the NFL. Answer: great. Vernon Davis, Mario Williams, Dwight Freeney, Chris Johnson, Deion Sanders, Calvin Johnson, Patrick Peterson, and on and on and on.

The combine isn't the be all, end all of NFL success, but it certainly has a correlation. Otherwise, NFL experts wouldn't consider it so important.

Absolutely. Obviously, I was being fairly hyperbolic with my statement that it was "crap".

I just think it is funny that people put so much stock into 40 times for positions where it is relatively unimportant.

For many positions, I consider cone drills and shuffles to be far more important than 40 times and Bench press reps.
