Sometimes things don't make sense until you try it.

 

The 3-cone drill is there to demonstrate the athlete's squat, flexibility, change of direction, complex speed, balance, and ability to stay on task. The drill is timed so you have to be quick, but not hurry.

These scouts act like its a science that can be observed and predicted based on player attributes, but year after year the draft proves to be anything but predictable. These scouts know nothing more than the average hardcore football fan.


The only difference is they get paid to sit and watch all day.
