What’s the goal of the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine?

Veach, Reid and the front office staff will head to the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis next week. So what are they looking for from the players they’ll watch and interview?

“Really the combine is a culmination of a year’s worth of work,” Veach said. “[Our scouts] have been on the road. Really we get our list during the OTA period, so you’re talking about initially looking at these guys back in May and June. And our guys do a tremendous job of going to school’s two or three times and logging information. [At the combine] we get to see these guys compete, but really we get to bring them in and figure out who they are as a person and what motivates them. We all know that guys love to play on Sunday’s but I think that one thing is critical to our success which is that guys that truly embrace the process and love being in the building.”
