[edit] Merger
I propose we merge this article with the articleTemplate:NFL Draft. I would add this article to the NFL Draft page as the first topic, and eliminate the following from that page:
"Each year, usually two weeks after the Super Bowl in early February, several hundred of the best draft eligible players are invited to participate in the NFL Combine held in Indianapolis at the RCA Dome. The NFL Combine is the only event where all scouts see all draft eligible players perform under the same conditions. At the Combine, players undergo a series of physical tests and measurements in addition to a 12 minute test of intelligence known as The Wonderlic. Some players prefer to workout for the scouts at their college team's pro day as they feel more comfortable in their home environment. Major college teams like USC, Miami (Fla), Notre Dame and Texas, which produce many great NFL prospects, generate huge interest from scouts and coaches at their pro day." As this would be repetitive.
I would also mention that each University has a pro day, where NFL team scouts are allowed to come and watch players participate in the events that take place at the Combine at their own School. This is done as it is believed that players feel more comfterable at their own campus then they do at the Combine, and therefore could perform better.Major college teams like USC, Miami (Fla), Notre Dame and Texas, which produce many great NFL prospects, generate huge interest from scouts and coaches at their pro day. It is now April 6, 2006 at 11:00 CST. On April 13, 2006 at some time afer 11:00 CST I will make this edit if there is either a almost unanamous consensus or silence in this Talk Topic. I will then recomend this article for Peer Review. False Prophet 16:02, 7 April 2006 (UTC) The dicussion is now closed
[edit] Pro Day... should it be separated?
I think Pro Days might eventually warrant a separate article since they are not really a part of the NFL system (although they have the same goal). --Bobak 16:12, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
