As mentioned yesterday, it’s that time of year again... Let the overanalyzing begin! As the NFL Combine gets underway, we’re going to be treated to all sorts of overwrought analysis, hopefully including the terms, “football IQ,” “game speed,” and “surprising burst.”
Adjust Your Draft Boards, Folks: Sam Bradford Gained 13 Pounds
↵Today’s edition comes from Yahoo!‘s Shutdown Corner, where Sam Bradford’s weigh-in caused quite the stir:
↵↵Bradford posted a weight of 236 pounds at his Friday morning Combine weigh-in. For those NFL personnel people who were on the fence about Bradford because of his formerly 223-pound frame ... a more muscled Bradford could shake up the top of the draft board.
↵After shoulder injuries shut down his 2009 season and he declared for the draft, Bradford has obviously been eating his Wheaties.
↵↵Thirteen pounds of muscle “could shake up the draft board,” huh? You gotta give it to Sam: the guy’s been eating his Wheaties out there. Especially during the 10 games he missed this year, thanks to shoulder cartilege that may or may not be made of paper mache.

↵This is not to pick on Yahoo!, though. They’re merely relating logic that governs the scouting process. Bradford’s whopping increase of 13 pounds(!) probably will convince people that he’s a stronger, more capable QB. It’s just... Well, that’s completely ridiculous.
