The 2007 NFL scouting combine officially kicks off today, but the workout portions do not begin until Friday. The following is a breakdown of the workout dates for each unit at this year's combine:
Friday, February 23: Kickers, punters and long snappers.
Saturday, February 24: Offensive linemen and tight ends.
Sunday, February 25: Quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers.
Monday, February 27: Defensive linemen and linebackers.
Tuesday, February 28: Defensive backs.
Prospects are broken up into 12 groups according to position. Each group partakes in the following four-day schedule:
Day 1: Registration, X-rays, Cybex testing, orientation and individual team interviews.
Day 2: Urinalysis, height/weight/arm-length/hand-span, Wonderlic test, bench press (max reps at 225 pounds), physical examination, taped video interviews and individual team interviews.
Day 3: NFLPA meeting, psychological testing and individual team interviews.
Day 4: Still photograph, 40-yard dash, agility drills and individual position drills.
Approximately 10 percent of players selected in each draft are not invited to the combine. Here's a look at the top 10 prospects who got snubbed this year:
1. CB John Talley, Duke.
2. ILB Zach Diles, Kansas State.
3. TE Matt Herian, Nebraska.
4. C Darnell Stapleton, Rutgers.
5. DT Brent Curvey, Iowa State.
6. ILB Kevin McLee, West Virginia.
7. G Kurt Quarterman, Louisville.
8. QB Lester Ricard, Tulane.
9. WR Brandon Myles, West Virginia.
10. QB Matt Moore, Oregon State.
Below is a breakdown -- ranked by college position -- of the 326 players invited to the scouting combine. A week from now, I will re-rank each of these positions to provide an example of the combine's affect on the draft process.
