Packers Calendar: Regional Combine in Houston

Saturday's Regional Combine takes place at Methodist Training Center in Houston.

Happy Valentine's Day. Cheesehead TV loves you.

The NFL Scouting Combine that everyone knows and loves with more than 300 prospects in Indianapolis doesn't start until Tuesday, but on Saturday one of its less-heralded regional iterations will be held Houston.

NFL Regional Combines serve as a supplement to the main Combine, allowing draft-eligible players display their skills in front of talent evaluators.

There's been no word whether the Green Bay Packers will have a representative in Houston, but even if they don't, measurements, results and videos are compiled and entered into a database available to all 32 NFL clubs.

Regional Combines consist of players not invited to the Combine in Indianpolis. Saturday's takes place at the Texans' Methodist Training Center in Houston.

“Combines have long provided draft eligible players with the forum needed to showcase their skills to NFL teams,” said NFL director of football development Matt Birk. “I know how important participating in combines was for my NFL career. It
is our job at the NFL to provide this opportunity to any college football player that wants to chase his dream of playing in the NFL.”

My idea of a good event for the combine would be a sumo ring. Put the top defensive guys against the top o-linemen. Then have all the fast guys try to catch a chicken.
