40-yard dash
The 40-yard dash is the marquee event at the combine. It's kind of like the
100-meters at the Olympics: It's all about speed, explosion and watching
skilled athletes run great times. What the evaluators are looking for is
an explosion from a static start.
Bench press
The bench press is a test of strength -- 225 pounds, as many
reps as the athlete can get for Junior College Freshmen & High
School Seniors. What the NUC Evaluators are also looking for is endurance. Anybody can do a max
one time, but what the bench press tells the evaluators is how often the
athlete frequented his weight room for the last 1-2 years.
Vertical jump
The vertical jump is all about lower-body explosion and power. The athlete
stands flat-footed and they measure his reach. It is important to accurately
measure the reach, because the differential between the reach and the flag the
athlete touches is his vertical jump measurement.
Broad jump
The broad jump is like being in gym class back in junior high school.
Basically, it is testing an athlete's lower-body explosion and lower-body
strength. The athlete starts out with a stance balanced and then he explodes
out as far as he can. It tests explosion and balance, because he has to land
without moving.
3 cone drill
The 3 cone drill tests an athlete's ability to change directions at a high
speed. Three cones in an L-shape. He starts from the starting line, goes 5
yards to the first cone and back. Then, he turns, runs around the second cone,
runs a weave around the third cone, which is the high point of the L, changes
directions, comes back around that second cone and finishes.
Shuttle run
The short shuttle is the first of the cone drills. It is known as the 5-10-5.
What it tests is the athlete's lateral quickness and explosion in short areas.
The athlete starts in the three-point stance, explodes out 5 yards to his
right, touches the line, goes back 10 yards to his left, left hand touches the
line, pivot, and he turns 5 more yards and finishes.
