NFL told teams that NFL combine will be fully virtual.
Among the alterations will be no in-person workouts at the combine as they will take place at colleges' pro days, all interviews and psychological testing will be virtual and there will be limited in-person medical exams.
[font=All-ProSans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]The league added it would work with individual schools to achieve consistency in the drills and testing that takes place with each NFL team gaining access of video for the workouts. Schools also will be asked to conduct virtual media availabilities with combine invitees to help "promote" the prospects and the 2021 NFL Draft.
In addition, the NFL is currently working alongside club physicians and trainers to develop a way in which to obtain "comprehensive medical information on each of the invited prospects." In-person testing will be available for "a certain number of prospects" at designated locations, likely in early April.[/font]
I feel this will result in more chaos in the top of the draft than even last year. Possibly resulting in more busts earlier and and diamonds in the rough later on.
Thoughts, given the Jags are depending on using the draft to restock the roster.
