2024 Combine (and FA) Dates

[*ochocincos*]

The NFL Scouting Combine is Feb 29 through March 3
Details of the Combine days are here - https://www.nfl.com/news/2024-nfl-combine-faq

Free Agency does not start until March 13.

I'll tell ya what, I really miss the Combine being in mid-Feb and FA starting right at end of Feb or first week of March like it was back 10-15 years ago.

I was hoping Q. Stiggers got an invite, but no.

Im interested in seeing how Georgia WR Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint tests at the combine.

Rosemy-Jacksaint looked athletic when I watched Georgia, good one. To the OP, I agree, I miss the Combine being in mid February.

This time of year can be a drag and the Combine would help lighten things up.

Less Combine and more Pro Day News but the Big 12 won't have individual pro days this year instead holding a mini-combine on March 28th and 29th at Ford Stadium.

Less travel time for the scouting departments might mean more chances for individual visits.

T'Vondre Sweat comes in at 366.

I've been looking for these. They (along w/Bench) used to post the day prior to workouts, but I've seen nothing. 

366 for Sweat is about expected. Many "feared" higher.

The DL is measuring right now I guess Sweats weight is the only one I've seen so far because Schefter tweeted it.

Here's the schedule.

Yep some guessed around 380 based on what they saw from Senior Bowl.

366 is basically what he was listed at Texas when he was playing (362), so if people thought he was good in college, he's still about the same size.

FWIW, Terrence "Mount" Cody was about identical size.
Cody - 6'4", 370 lb
Sweat - 6'4", 366 lb

Byron Murphy 6'0.4 297 32 3/8th arms 10 inch hands 77 1/8th wingspan. Hits benchmarks but he has to test very explosive at that size.

Byron Murphy II
6004
297

Perfect 3-tech size, doubt he makes it to 18 but Byron Murphy sure seems like the guy this team needs in the middle to finally fill the Geno hole.

Also, not surprised by Sweat being 366 pounds, he looks it.

[*bfine32*]

If this is correct Robinson is smaller than reported:
Darius Robinson 6-3 254 9 1/8” 32 1/2”

This is what NFL.Com's Combine tracker has
https://www.nfl.com/combine/tracker/participants/dt/all-colleges/

WEIGHT
285 lbs

Now THAT is good.

I like that Fabien Lovett added some weight to 314 after coming in at 306 at the Shrine Bowl. Day 3 rotational NT prospect. I hope he gets into the mid 1.7 10 yard split.

I think Newton is more of a perfect size:
6'2"
304 lbs
Same arm length as Murphy

I am sad to see Fiske only has 31" arm length.

Maason Smith is a monster at 6'5" 306 lbs with 35" arm length

If you don't have length at least be explosive and the Kingpin also has those hands that don't stop lol. I don't think Fiske is going to be a full time starter though more of a heavy rotational guy.

Had the best vertical (33.5" and broad jump (9'9" of the first DL group. https://t.co/4of4sx0dK4

Exactly.
The lack of length will require him to find other ways to be effective, and he does show those other traits to have hope he does.

I still do think he could be a good addition the Bengals regardless of the arm length comment.

Well Geno was 6'0" at the most and that is the type of player I want us to add. I like Newton, but he is coming off of an injury and has 
some questions just like everybody. Yes, sad Fiske has that short of arms, I liked that guy for us in the 3rd. Maason Smith will probably 
be shooting up the boards with those measurements.
