A pair of Bobcats, Cornerback Craig Mager and Kicker/Punter Will Johnson, have been invited to the NFL Scouting Combine February 17-23 at Lucas Oil Stadium.

All the best, Cats!

No problem. It kind of fell by the wayside.....3rd page of posts, I think. This brings it back as the combine approaches.

Dumb question: What sort of workouts do punters and kickers do at the combine?

I am thinking that our streak of having players drafted is about to end. It was at 8 or 9 years. We had a very small senior class and while Q. Lee was one of the best college LB out there, I don't think the NFL is going to draft a guy that doesn't fit their template. He will get his shot in training camp though.

According to ESPN Draft Tracker:

40 yard dash
3 Cone Drill
20 yard shuttle time
Vertical Jump
Broad Jump - for distance
Bench Press - Measured by the number of times the player benches 225lbs.

The go through the same physical as everyone and do kick offs, kicks from different distances and/or punts. That's it.

I love that they have the kickers and punters do those drills... Then they throw all that out because most of those have NOTHING to do with kicking/punting.

I was shocked they make 'em Bench Press . . . I mean they're kickers for crying out loud. . . Most of 'em look like they could be golfers or swimmers . . . .

All of these test are optional for kickers. Last year none participated. Most of the time they decline because they want to be judged on kicking alone.

Thanks 99 .. . . . I was speaking "tongue firmly in cheek" I mean for the most part, kickers/punters, even in the NFL, ain't gonna get mistook for JJ Watt . .
