I read where ZM was one of 11 Tigers to be invited to the NFL Combine. With his injury, what can he do at the event. I wish him the best

Get measured I guess.

His height will be a big plus for him in the draft so he'll want them to know his exact numbers.

Probably none of the physical stuff. However, he can interview with teams which is a big deal. And if (for some reason) teams still have questions about his character stemming from the UGA bar incident, he can clear those up.

I saw the other day that he is rehabbing really well. Doing drops and throwing. He won't do any athletic drills, but he'll get measured and possibly throw some balls.

He'll do more at his pro day when he's closer to 100%

*Mettenberger is recovering from surgery to repair the ACL in his left knee and will not participate in physical drills. He will however go through the medical evaluation and meetings with coaches and scouts.

One day we will hopefully finally spell his name right. Mettenberger

He is NFL ready once he heals IMO

I would imagine he is already moving around fairly well and working on good flexibility of the knee by now.

It would be interesting to see a video of his progression back to his ability. Any of you twits follow him on twitter?

Get measured
Lots of interviews with scouts, coaches and GMs. This is extremely important for a QB, they can watch film and see him make throws.

For a pocket QB, the interview process is a billion times more important than any combine drill
