Is it to interview certain guys you might be interested in drafting to see if their attitudes fit your direction? The draft is the draft and any player you meet with might be gone when it’s your pick. Just wondering what’s the main focus here. Are pro days like mini combines to show off talent? If so, I thought that’s what the original combine was intended to do?
Just asking cause I’m unsure.
Lots of time they talk to other people on campus while there. Janitors, equipment people, low level interns basically they like to hear from people who have less reason to lie about a guys character or how hard a worker they were. They do still watch drills and use it as a reason to interact with prospects. Sometimes they find guys that weren’t really on their radar but they get interested in.
