The NFL Scouting Combine is rolling along, and today is a big day in Indianapolis.
That is because it is time for the quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs to go through the various drills in front of NFL general managers, coaches, and assorted other team officials.
The Cleveland Browns lost out on the opportunity to select Indiana quarterback Ferando Mendoza, the presumptive No. 1 overall selection, but general manager Andrew Berry and head coach Todd Monken will have their eyes on whichever quarterbacks and wide receivers decide to participate in the drills as part of their 120-day improvement plan to fix Cleveland’s ailing offense.
Everything pops off at 1 p.m., and the NFL Network will be televising all the fun.
Let’s get the day started with the latest on the Browns and the NFL in today’s edition of the Saturday Dawg Chow.
