The NFL Scouting Combine is facing criticism for humiliation and insults towards star players, with concerns raised about its diminishing value due to unprofessional behavior from team executives and media members. The event has been described as being negatively impacted by rude questions and unprofessional conduct, leading to a decline in its reputation.
The NFL Network Combine broadcast is peak “old man yelling at clouds” right now.
The NFL Scouting Combine is high on humiliation (CJ Stroud) and insults (Caleb Williams), and running low on value to the only people TV networks will pay millions to show: The star players. https://t.co/5IxckfgoEU
Here lies the NFL Scouting Combine, killed by team executives who couldn't keep their mouths shut and reporters who couldn't say no. https://t.co/5IxckfgoEU
I'm tired of the NFL Scouting Combine. Someone tell my bosses I'm about to tear it to shreds, with collateral damage including media members who have helped ruin the thing. Sure, I'll name some names. #columncoming
Every combine has one “gonna make my mark by out-shouting a rude question to a top-5 prospect” guy https://t.co/KaH7DiIC9M https://t.co/uCewwMtCWw
Unprofessional behavior from some of the folks the NFL has credentialed for the Combine this year could make my life as "non-traditional media" harder. Unfortunate how much of it I've seen.
