2021 NFL Combine Cancelled

2021 NFL Combine Cancelled

The 2021 NFL Combine in Indianapolis has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The NFL memo reported in full by Adam Schefter states that the NFL is developing a plan to obtain comprehensive medicals on all invited participants. The memo also states that club interviews and psychological testing will be done virtually and will be coordinated by the NFL. Universities will be asked to help to provide media interviews for invited prospects with NFL broadcast partners.

On the topic of athletic testing, the memo states:

“There will be no in-person workouts at the Combine. Instead, any workouts will take place on the individual pro days on college campuses. We will work with the schools to encourage consistency in testing and drills across pro days and ensure that all clubs have access to video from those workouts, irrespective of whether the club is represented at a particular workout. Rules governing timing and testing of draft eligible players with club personnel attendance at pro days will be sent in a separate Player Personnel memorandum.”

NFL Combine Results will attempt to gather all data from these officially regulated pro days, as we normally would.

NFL Combine To Supplement Wonderlic With New Apitude Test

NFL Combine To Supplement Wonderlic With New Apitude Test

The 2013 NFL Combine will feature a new and improved non-physical aptitude test.  Prior to 2013, the NFL issued a controversial Wonderlic exam to players to asses non-physical aptitude.  In an effort to improve on the controversial practice – the results of which were declared confidential in 2008 – the NFL Combine will supplement the Wonderlic with additional testing.

NFL.com’s Albert Breer acquired the following memo describing the changes to the Wonderlic:

At this year’s combine we will introduce a new and expanded player assessment tool designed to offer a much more robust and comprehensive assessment of a player’s non-physical capabilities, aptitudes, and strengths. This tool was developed by Harold Goldstein, Professor of Industrial/Organizational Psychology at Baruch College, City University of NY. Professor Goldstein is an expert in industrial psychology who has designed employment tests in a variety of other industries and has worked closely with Cyrus Mehri of the Fritz Pollard Alliance.

The assessment tool being introduced at the Combine is not intended to displace anything currently in use or substitute for other tests that are given either at the Combine or by the clubs themselves. Rather, this new test measures a wide range of competencies, including learning styles, motivation, decision-making skills, responding to pressure or unexpected stimuli, and core intellect. It was developed after detailed discussions with current and former league executives, including Ernie Accorsi, Thomas Dimitroff, John Elway, and Jerry Reese, and was reviewed by members of the general managers Advisory Committee.

This is an exciting innovation that brings updated best practices from corporate America to the NFL football operations. By giving clubs new and more relevant information, it offers additional information to supplement your decision-making in the draft. One of the most interesting aspects is that new information on player learning styles can potentially help our coaches’ work more effectively with young players.

We look forward to reviewing and receiving your feedback later this year and incorporating it into future versions of this assessment tool.

In working with Psychologists, the NFL is clearly making an effort to improve the amount of information that teams have access to regarding potential draft selections.  The Wonderlic was often criticized as a sole means of judging the cognitive ability of a player, so there was certainly room for improvement in this area.  The new aptitude test is reported to differ from the Wonderlic in that it is meant to judge specific cognitive strengths and weaknesses, rather than overall cognitive ability.

The NFL has also announced that this new aptitude test will be administered in a classroom, much like the Wonderlic.  Also like the Wonderlic, the results will be confidential.  To further protect confidentiality, Steve Wyche of NFL.com has reported that the results will only be shared with “one or two” team executives.  Wyche also reports that the test will be 60 minutes long, and that there will be “no way” players will be able to study or prepare for the test.  The NFL will work with psychologists to grade the tests, and the results may help to provide teams with a better idea of whether a player will fit into their organizations culture and with a particular coaching style.

From an NFL Combine Results perspective, we will have to wait and see what sort of information is released.  From what we can gather, it sounds like the new aptitude test is somewhat of a hybrid between a personality test and an intelligence test that gauges different types of intelligence.  If the test is effective, that information will likely be very valuable to NFL teams and possibly researchers as well.

Regional NFL Scouting Combines Begin January 28th

Regional NFL Scouting Combines Begin January 28th

Beginning Saturday, January 28th, the NFL will hold a series of eight regional scouting combines concluding with a national “secondary” combine at the end of March.

The eight regional combines will be held in Los Angeles (Jan. 28), Houston (Feb 4), Baltimore (Feb 11), Tampa Bay (Feb 18), New York (Feb 25), Atlanta (Mar 10-11), and Cleveland (Mar 17).  Players who generate interest at a regional combine may be invited to participate at an additional national combine on March 30th and 31st in Detroit, Michigan.

The additional NFL scouting combines will not feature players who have been invited to the NFL Combine on February 22nd at Lucas Oil Stadium.   The regional combines are intended as an avenue for players with NCAA experience who are not invited to the main NFL Combine to showcase their talents in front of NFL scouts and front office personnel.   The regional combines allow NFL teams a better opportunity at evaluating scattered potential NFL talent, while also allowing late-blooming, comeback, and overlooked players an opportunity to be evaluated by all 32 NFL teams in one place.
