What do combine results mean?

[xrugger]

I thought this was an interesting analysis of just what kind of result might be predictive and which drills were key for which positions: http://espn.go.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/14837586/todd-mcshay-guide-every-combine-drill-nfl-draft

On an unrelated note: I saw a pic of Parella taken with Riley. The man looks like he was carved from stone. That has got to impress a potential recruit.

This is fascinating to see what a typical test result is for these guys. You'd think they're all running 4.3 40 times and putting up 35 reps on the bench, but not necessarily.

I think you are thinking about the anonymous posters here on HOL. Most can still easily get 4.6 with minimum of 20 reps on the bench. Killing it.

I know. I just don't know why these football players are such wusses when I lay down 40 reps without even trying. Kids these days just aren't as tough as we were, am I right?

I can do like 50 push-ups in a row (if I have a couple minute break halfway through) and I can run faster than my dog (if I wear her out first by playing with a frisbee).

Hell yeah! I actually raced my dog the other day on her walk. I'm pretty stoked to know that I am faster than a 20 lb french bulldog, although she has great acceleration.

I have to get my 120 lbs Bernese (pictured) tired before I race her, otherwise the big girl can move. But her stamina is pathetic. If you are about 2 miles into a walk she will be so tired that she won't walk anywhere but towards home. If you try to walk in another direction she will just lay down and you aren't moving her (unless it is towards home).
