Lesser Known Combine Events

This week the NFL Combine is putting some of America's best College Football players through a series of rigorous tests to try and see how they might grade out in the NFL physically. Some of the events have become famous, the 40-yard dash defines draft stock for some positions, there are some events that every player runs that don't make it to NFL Network daytime.

-Talent Show. 

Each player is charged with putting together a two minute performance. After all the workouts, they set up a halftime at the super bowl game-esque stage. The event is hosted by Mario Lopez and is judged by an applause-o-meter run by Roger Goodell. Last year Joe Flacco and Glenn Dorsey won by singing "Summer Lovin' from Grease. Flacco sang the female lead, and Glenn Dorsey wore the largest leather jacket ever created. 

-Dance!

Friday Night, after the ice baths, the players have a mandatory dance with the girls from the Cheerleading Combine that is happening at the Radisson Hotel next to the Big Oil Drum. Highlights from last year:

-Colt Brennan took advantage of the only real application of a degree from University of Hawaii and wins the Limbo Contest.

-Matt ryan taught everyone how to superman that Ho.

-Felix Jones tooootttttttallllllllly made out with like 20 girls. He really is as Grimey as he looks. 

-Combine Camp Fire. 

On Saturday the Combine rents 15 or so vans and drives the players to nearby Lake Zoot. They sing Combine Songs, make smores, and every last camper wins a paper plate award. My personal Favorites:

-Jake Long won the Weens Award for eating 25 hot dogs in 12 minutes.

-Desean Jackson won the Hot Hands Hanon award for worst hands.

While a lot of press has been given to the Bench Press, and the Shuttle drills, keep in mind, that the winner of the Sack Race has won rookie of the Year 4 of the last 7 years.
