The 2012 Journey Begins

The NFL Scouting Combine provides for some interesting viewing for fans. They can see the various drills the players are put through. The invitation process has its flaws. They rarely invite Division II players. Danny Woodhead is a good example of a player who never got invited.

Some positions have fewer players. There are only 10 quarterbacks. Some have elected not to throw, including Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin. They will do it on their "Pro Days".

For others, it's the chance of a lifetime to show their skills. One bad moment or move can effect their assessment and drop them down in the draft.

Not all of the 300 players there will get drafted and will need to fight their way onto a roster as a free agent.

The road to the NFL varies for every player. Some never get there.
