In researching this, I also discovered and not surprisingly, that the NFL requires combine participants to wear paid sponsored outfits.  Participants are also required to wear specific apparel during media interviews, ensuring a visible brand logo. I'm sure in the final analysis of prospects, GM's and scouts do look at what a player does during a game, with full equipment on.  As well as taking into consideration the field, it's condition and the impacts of weather on said player.</blockquote>
