Summary
92%ers we are back with the thirtieth episode of New Heights presented by our friends at Fireball and we have an exceptional one for you guys.
In this episode, we are talking about all things NFL Combine. Yes, we know this is the start of tampering season, but with Travis hosting SNL we had to delay the recording on this one a little bit.
We break down how getting invited to the combine actually works (07:10), what kind of training goes into preparing for the on-field drills (10:00) and revisit some of the formal interviews that didn't go exactly as planned (17:35).
Next, we tell you what to actually look for when you're watching players do drills (35:50), debate if we should retake the Wonderlic (37:40), and Jason gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like being back at the NFL Combine as a veteran (43:30).
We also have an incredible conversation with former Eagles scout and current NFL Network Draft Analyst, Daniel Jeremiah (45:42). The guys touch on why the Combine still matters (46:20), the players you have to see in person to appreciate (56:55), if Philly will draft a running back (01:02:27), Jason's actual scouting report (01:09:10), and how Daniel jumped from NFL scouting to media (01:10:57).
As always, watch and listen to new episodes of New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce every Wednesday & check us out on Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok for all the best moments from the show.
