The NFL Scouting Combine is where draft prospects make or break their grade.
Of course, it is not the end-all-be-all of how one’s career will go, and Travis Kelce is the prime example.
A good combine can see players fly up the charts – bad ones can see players dip in power rankings. However, lots of teams make decisions not necessarily based on the on-field tests, but the ones off the field.
Front offices meet with countless prospects throughout the combine for interviews, some of which have turned infamous with some wild questions. For Kelce, one interview was practically over before it started.
A clip of Kelce explaining his “bad interviews” at the combine has resurfaced on social media. Even though it is a year old, it still offers insight into how some of the interviews go for highly touted prospects.
I basically just said, ‘If you guys think I’m gonna be that kind of guy, or you’re questioning if I’m still that person after everything that I’ve battled through to get to where I am now from missing a season, then you guys (should) probably go somewhere else and pick somebody else.'”
The Cowboys selected Gavin Escobar with the 47th overall pick in 2013, while Kelce fell to 63, the first selection of the third round, by the Kansas City Chiefs.
