It baffles me how much value some GMs put in the combine numbers. I think its important, but it would seem performance on the FIELD would trump anything a few tests would show. I could see putting a bit more importance on the combine with I-AA players and smaller I-A schools because of competition, but not a player from the BCS conferences.
