OK, Green Bay Packers and football fans – the fun has begun with the NFL Combine as more than 300 players strut their best stuff at Lucas Oil Stadium this weekend in Indianapolis.
For Packers fans who live in Wisconsin and beyond, now is the time to turn on the NFL Network and watch these guys run, jump, sweat and try to impress the coaches, GMs, and scouts in attendance.
Now is the time when the mock drafts get turned on their heads. You can watch as players shoot up boards or drop as they turn in their 40-dash times and Mike Mayock and co. decide whether they have stiff hips or a huge upside.
So, if your television isn’t on right now and tuned to the NFL Network, check it out starting today and continuing through Tuesday.
Over the next few days you can sit right alongside Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson as they watch potential Packers players like C.J. Mosley, Eric Ebron, Aaron Donald, Ra’Shede Hageman, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix or Calvin Pryor.
The following is the complete schedule, by position and time.
Enjoy the weekend and the show …
