Welcome to another episode of Building the Beast. I am Dave Hellman, and today, Dane Bruegler and I

ran through our 26 NFL Combine preview. If you're new to the draft, if you need a refresher,

NFL Combine, one of the most fun, interesting events of the NFL calendar, the entire league,

descending on Indianapolis this week for what is essentially the most important job fair of the year.

It's a job interview for NFL prospects, searching for a team to draft them.

It's a job fair for NFL GMs and coaches.

This is where trade talks heat up.

This is where the free agency market comes into play.

Teams investigating their own players, players from other teams, the espionage, the

subterfuge, the information gathered in Indianapolis worth its weight in gold. Like I said, it's one of the best

weeks of the NFL calendar. Dana and I took a look at it from the prospect portion. That is why

everybody goes to Indies to look at guys on field testing, interviewing with teams who might potentially

draft them. So that's what we did.

Took a look at what the combine is, what you need to know about the event itself. And of course,

we walked through some of the most interesting players in this year's combine with the most

to gain. A loaded episode for y'all as we make our way to Indianapolis. Let's get right to it.

Well, Dane, I don't think it gets more on brand than this because we're doing another magic of podcasting tricks right now.

We are recording this on Sunday afternoon so that the bulk of our staff can use Monday as a travel day and you've still got some NFL

combine material in your feed while we're all traveling to Indianapolis.

Except, Dane, not only are you already in Indianapolis, you've already been there for like 24

hours.

That's how jacked up you are and how attentive to detail
