Beginning Wednesday, Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis takes its annual turn as the center of the football world when the NFL Scouting Combine commences. Chris Hayre and Adam Rossow shockingly didn’t get the invite to compete, but in preparation for the event, they explain the six drills performed by NFL prospects that test their physical attributes.

More than 300 prospects are expected to attend and be evaluated — both mentally and physically — by NFL executives, scouts and coaches. The combine runs through Monday, February 29 and is regarded as the beginning of the intense evaluation process leading up to the NFL Draft. The Draft will take place in Chicago in April.
