The NFL Combine is very similar to recruiting. You either really care about it or you just pay enough attention to the results to barely hold a conversation with someone who breathes the stuff. The names are hyped up by the media and it's all about an individual's potential. The 2009 Combine starts today and Georgia Tech is represented by 5 of our finest:
WORD-DANIELS, JAHI GEORGIA TECH 11 DB59 CB JOHNSON, MICHAEL GEORGIA TECH 08 DL28 DE RICHARD, DARRYL GEORGIA TECH 08 DL44 DT WALKER, VANCE GEORGIA TECH 08 DL52 DT GARDNER, ANDREW GEORGIA TECH 01 OL21 T

If you are lucky enough to have the NFL Network (I don't) you can watch the entire Combine in it's entirety. Here is a link to see the combine television schedule.
