Looks like Ben got out of Dodge before the bad weather hit.

He's in Indianapolis for this week's Indy Combine.

He joins us right now, as he does every Monday and Friday,

as our Commander's Insider, at Ben Standing on X on Twitter.

I would subscribe to his substack.

It's worth reading.

He's done a really interesting survey,

which we'll get to in his 3.0 NFL mock draft is out as well.

You know, real quickly, because we'll talk more about this during the week,

but what do you think that we as fans truly get out of the Indy Combine?

Well, I mean, there's, you know, somewhat similar to what the teams get.

And, like, we'll get the, you know, the measurables, the speed on some guys.

Like, you know, we talk about, like, Rubin Baines, arm lengths, you know, okay, well, it's, you know, because the official measurement of how that is. Some guys run fast, but like how fast, you know, that, that's going to impact where they may fall in the draft rankings and things like that. So I think that's sort of the basic tangible stuff, things on those lines. But then there is the, I think this is where, to me, both of the draft and the free agency, it starts to intensify a bit. You know, the rumors will come out. There could be even trades. And, you know, obviously, rumors are what they are. But, you know, often they do at least give, it's one of my favorite lines in the movie glorious bastards, you know, true or not, rumors are what they are, but often they do at least give, it's one of my favorite lines in the movie, Glorious Bastards, you know, true or not rumors are, you know, really give you some interesting insight into what people are thinking about. So I think it's sort of that

combination of the tangible results for the draft prospects, but also we start to get,

it with everybody's here. I mean, i think that's the important piece of like
