A peek behind the Combine curtain
What goes on behind the scenes at the NFL Combine? Giants.com offers us just a little glimpse of how the Giants conduct business at the Combine.
What are the Giants trying to accomplish?
“It’s really to figure out, can they learn?” said Chris Pettit, who has been a Giants scout since 2005. “Is he an intelligent player? How much game do they know? That’s the base, that’s what you want to get out of that. Because we’ve already done pre-work on a lot of these guys, interviewing them on their personalities, their background. But if there are some other questions that we didn’t feel good about background-wise, we’ll ask those. But really, we want to know about their overall intelligence and if they can they learn.”
GM Dave Gettleman reiterated that idea.
“The bottom line is: smart guys win. The big, dumb football player is a myth. You have to play this game smart. You have to know what you are doing. That is the whole purpose of this process,” Gettleman said.
