2017 NFL Combine Discussion

[Blue]

It's the most wonderful time of the year: draft season! Combine officially starts tomorrow with weigh-ins and such, but the weights of a few running backs are already starting to leak out. Fournette reportedly came in at 240 lbs.

Man, I'm glad my contract finished up right before the combine! Now I can sit and vegetate in front of combine news all day! Literally living the dream here.

How are weights leaking out if they don't get on the scale until tomorrow?

The obvious answer is that these aren't official weights, which I made clear about three different ways in my OP.

Wait, all the stuff I looked at said the measurements for group 1 (RBs and OL) was today.

Really? I haven't been able to find anything listing official numbers.

EDIT: Looks like NFL.com is listing them on each player's individual page but not as a single doc. Annoying.

EDIT2: Walt's finally posting them up, too.

Mitch Trubisky just over 6'2. There goes the "barely 6'1" rumors.

Deshaun Watson came in at 6'2 1/2" too. Just can't have them tiny Goff hands.

9 3/4 hands for Watson and 9 1/2 for Trubisky

Tannehill and Kaep fall into that category.

You know what they say about guys with big hands: they're great at handling balls.

[JLash]

I wonder why Walt has Greg Ward listed in the QB section, I thought he was testing as a WR?

[Xmadraven]

Russell Wilson is 5'11 height means nothing anymore.

But still it's nice to see Mitch and Deshaun aren't midgets.

[Blue]

Russell Wilson and Drew Brees are the only successful quarterbacks under 6-2 in the past 20 years, if not longer.
