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 Rick 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 along those lines.

But then there is the, I think this is where, to me, both of the draft and the free agency

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, rumors are what they are, but often they do at least give, it's one of my favorite lines in the movie,

In Glorious Basters, 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, you know, with everybody's here. I mean, I think that's the important piece of like, I literally stand, I'm standing right now at the Starbucks, the one last year where the infamous one where Jordan Shultz and Ian Rappaport got into it and standing like two feet in front of the I don't know. The infamous what? Starbucks at the combine where Jordan Shultz and Ian Rappap Report got into it last year?

I'm on, I don't remember what you're talking about, so just refresh my memory.

The Jordan Shultz confronted Ian Rappaport over things.

Jordan Shultz is with who, I forget. Sorry.

Nobody himself, I don't know.

Okay.

He is the son of Starbucks. Oh, right, right. Oh, yeah, that's right. Jordan Schultz, Howard Schultz's son, that sort of kind of bought his way into being an NFL reporter, right? Right. Yeah, it's correct. Okay. Anyway, they got it to, they happen to be here, so everybody makes fun of it. But literally, as I'm standing here, there are a bunch of, there's a few reporters around here, 40-underer's GM or the President John Lynch is standing right here. There's a couple other people. So, you know, this is where everybody in the league gathers pretty much the only time it happens like this. So from that you get information, you get, you know,
