Hate this.  Step up and meet the bell.

I agree. OK, I know a lot of this is all about "Interviews" & "Getting to know the prospect", but if that's the case, go to their pro-day or schedule a visit. For all these guys who don't want to participate in drills there are just as many that would kill for an invite to the Combine, for a chance to meet with teams and show their skills.
I wish the NFL would make it mandatory that if you attend the Combine, you participate, unless actually medically unable.

Seeing how speed is the question mark for CB Will Johnson, his failure to workout raises a red flag with me

If he runs at his pro day it's a non issue. If like Evan Neal he refuses to run at his pro day than I would take him completely off the board. Fool me once...

I will laugh if any of the MIAs gets passed up because of a performance by another player.

Rich, tomorrow could prove to be an exciting day. A big one for a couple of these QB's. Also, Hunter. Will he be performing both WR and DB Drills?

From what I could find online Hunter will not perform in any of the Combine drills

In his case it's a good move.

I would assume he will do a special Pro Day workout doing some of both.  From what I have been hearing, teams are split on if they would use him primarily as a WR or as a DB.  Why pigeonhole himself

Isn't the general consensus CB?

That's what I thought, but the reports I have been hearing at the Combine are that there is a split.  The one specific mentioned is the Browns who have a need at WR but not really one at CB.

He may be the best CB but not the best WR. The Huddle Report has him as a CB.
