[QUOTE="PWT36, post: 148828, member: 170"] pack93z-posted:" If they didn't have alot of contact with him, did they research his injuries out in depth? Thought it was curious" NFL College player scouting Combine was held, I believe, in Indianapolis earlier this year before the NFL draft this year. Most potential college player NFL draftees attend ,as well as representative from all NFL Franchises. Player go thru work outs and are available to be interviewed by the teams. The players are given physical exams ,as well as, mental tests such as the Wunderlic test . The results of these tests are available to NFL teams. Some players do not attend NFL Scouting combine sessions, but have their own workouts for NFL teams , usually at college they attended There was a article in the Saturday May 5, 2007 issue of the Green Bay Press-Gazette by Pete Doughterty entitled "Ready to Dominate? " Here is excert from the article concerning health of Harrell. "The team's medical staff, headed by Dr. Pat McKenzie, checks out all draft prospect medical records, X-rays and MRIs and has long-term statistical studies of how various injuries affect career length. McKenzie, in effect, has an actuarial table he uses along with his experience and judgment to give draft prospects medical grades.
