is so "over-rated",,,then what's the point of the NFL conducting it at all? If the NFL teams/coaches/evaluation staff were to come out and say the combine is "over-rated", I'd buy it but you're never going to hear that because it's clearly not true. That has nothing to do with how long a player actually plays in the NFL. The combine is a major part of evaluation IF THE PLAYER will be drafted and NOT how long they will play.
