Hi, Jaguars fans!

Current college players and the future NFL stars, including future Jaguars players, converge by invitation this week, for the annual 2017 NFL Combine at Indianapolis, Indiana. These student/athletes will go through drills like there bench press and sprints, and also including the Wonderlich test.
2017 NFL Combine begins Tuesday morning, February 28, through March 3, held again at Lucas Oil Stadium, home field of the Colts. No injuries, ands good luck to all of these young men, as they try to increase their talent stock before the annual NFL Colllege Draft later in May.

Mods, please lock this thread. The Combine is two days away.
I can't believe this. The draft is April 27-29. Anybody who knows anything about the combine knows that too. The draft was in May one year because of a site scheduling conflict; otherwise it has always been in April.
Also, none of the guys are student/athletes anymore. They stop taking classes to prepare for the draft.

Stop being bossy, and stop trying to moderate the board, we've got it covered, thanks.
Quote:Will anybody watch it?
Yep,if you don't I expect you to not comment on any of the threads regarding the players who did.

I will comment about some things that are interesting and post links here. In other threads, it depends on who is being discussed.
Here is something most people forget about: the draft coin toss. I think tomorrow is when we find out which pick the Colts get.

Please stop derailing threads with this crap.
I wonder when they will do the coin toss. So far it has not been reported.

Quick question: I never went to University (which is what we call College here), and I'm not an American National BUT isn't graduation usually around May? So anyone who's not taking classes but haven't graduated yet are still technically students, no?

They are called colleges here too. University is a term many of them use in their names, but they are all colleges regardless.
It seems weird to me when people say graduation is in May because when my sisters had their commencements in early June. However, most if not all colleges switched from quarters to semesters, so the date has moved up since then.

What I mean is, generally speaking, you call it College and we call it University.
We leave school at 16 years old (in some cases 15 depending on when in the year you're born). We have College between age 16 & 18 then University thereafter. College isn't obligatory so you can technically leave school and go straight into full-time work/career/apprenticeships. For full-time work you need to be 16, though.
Regarding Graduation, I'm sure the date varies anyway.. but I would consider someone a student until they've 'officially' left education. It's a trivial and unimportant thing on the face of it, I'm sure you'll agree.

Can we continue this discussion via PM to keep the thread on topic?
