Edit: ah, it’s only players training at this particular company
Also, any indication that this will be available to Joe Schmo fantasy fan?

I thought I read somewhere too, that the NFL is planning on cranking up the hype and coverage of pro days. Possible tv series. Can’t seem to find it so must have been false rumor

If you've got something to prove on the athletic testing front, I can't imagine why you -wouldn't- want to be there.

Yeah. Me neither.

And if some of the athletes crush their drills (they will), it's going to look awfully good for that training company. The clear connection that training at their facility leads to sensational scores.

With that said, we may want to take these numbers with a grain of salt.

Yeah, I suppose that is true. The training company isn't going to want to look bad. Still, given that most players will be doing pro days, it doesn't seem advantageous to lock yourself into a more strict setting where the upside for testing in that setting is negligible for the prospects already considered 1st round locks. Rondale Moore is a guy that could be looking at pushing into or solidifying 1st round consideration with a good showing there, so I can see why he would do it.

Or, could just as easily be the other way I guess. If you're confident in your athleticism you'd rather strict testing rather than potentially slow stop watches. Doesn't matter. Just glad it's happening and hope many players show up.
