not necessarily, Combine is more of the NFL league to showcase said talent but there are still pro days which most teams get a better feel for prospects and where they should go in the draft. coaching staffs get more hands on with workouts then in the Combine which is more of a gimmick move by the League to boost revenue...Man, those 150 players, unless you are earmarked as a top player, 1st rd or blue chip type player, a boycott is only going to hurt the prospect.
I know there are pro days an such but if I’ve been training and believe I’m in top physical condition, it’d be hard to pass up that opportunity.

The NFL is on some type of hypocritical horsecrap. You 100% (completely) remove the Covid Protocol Restrictions for both the playoffs and Super Bowl (with no regard for player safety/sickness) but then you become super and extremely strict again for the combine?
The NFL should be ashamed of themselves.
Let me guess. The NFL Postseason + Super Bowl creates more $$$$ and more revenue for the NFL than the Combine does?
