INDIANAPOLIS – One of the myriad events that got scrapped due to the COVID-19 pandemic was the 2021 NFL combine, but it’s back in its usual form (although perhaps for the last time in Indianapolis). And as teams return to a draft process that’s close to business as usual, the question remains: What is the value of the combine as the process continues to evolve?
“Different people see the combine in different ways, but this is a very important exposure for us,” Falcons GM Terry Fontenot said. “Any touch point with the players we can have is critical. The interviews—the formals, the informals—seeing them work out and compete, just being here with all our peers and agents. If you handle this week the right way it can be very productive.”
