Quote:All of that with the exception of the interview/medical can be seen from film study though, so I fail to see how it can really catapault him.

sure but during the combine gms/scouts and coaches gets to witness the player first hand especially in the passing drills, they can determine if the footwork can be adjusted as is some mechanical flaws a certain player might have.  They can ask players to display snapping the ball under center and other techniques certain players need to display.  Whether you think the combine is not as relevant to the draft process as it might be, to the players it is.
