McShay and Tannenbaum argue for Kenny to have the best year as a quarterback. It was 1:44.
A group of player agents is threatening to organize a boycott of key elements of the annual event if its concerns about a COVID-19 bubble for prospects are not addressed, according to sources.
A bubble that would keep prospects from interacting with their personal trainers, doctors, and agents while in Indianapolis was included in a memo sent by the league to draft prospects and their agents. A group of agents representing more than 150 of the invited prospects is threatening to hold their players out of combine drills and interviews if the league doesn't relent on its plans. The players would only participate in the medical evaluations at the combine if the boycott is implemented. They would do their combine drills at their individual pro days.
According to sources close to the situation, agents and the NFL were discussing the concerns in an attempt to avoid the announcement of the boycott.
On Sunday, the NFLPA issued a memo to player agents in support of the idea of players skipping the combine, an event that the union has long opposed.
The agents of incoming prospects give those players, at their own expense, with trainers, nutritionists and other specialists as part of their preparation for the weeklong event at which they are measured, weighed, interviewed and tested on various skills. Some drills have been moved to prime time for TV purposes and the amount of time the players have to get everything done in Indy has been compressed.
The bubble that would prevent players from interacting with some of the key people charged with making sure they are at their best for combine week is opposed by the agents. One source close to the situation said the nutrition aspect was the most upsetting, since many of the prospects are trying to reach certain weights in time for the combine, and that effort could be upset by the league's decision to be the sole provider of food for prospects at the event.
Efforts were being made to reach a compromise.
