Seems like those days are over. I do think the core reason the combine continues as is - is because it's another 'event' for the league in their off-season calendar. Gotta keep the money machine rolling
No there are lots of reasons for the combine and they've been listed in this thread already.
1. Interviews. All these players in one spot so you get to interview them without booking endless flights. This is an important part of the whole draft process.
2. Medical info.
3. GM and agents rub shoulders and find out about possible scenarios.
4. As DP says, it's a chance for coaches to see players and make assessments. Position coaches have been coaching all year and now have to get into scouting and so now they get to see players up close.
Many fans watching tv think it;s all just useless underwear drills, and they think that's all it is because that's all they see.
BUT. No one
in the league thinks that.
