[nikeman49]

MSU wide receiver Tanner Napier has been working hard with personal trainer 3 days a week in preparation for February 27th NFL combine in Baltimore MD......the 6'5" 195 pound Napier played in the NFL Scout Bowl in Myrtle Beach and later was invited to Baltimore for combine

The pessimist in me is wondering why he didn't opt for the 7 day plan.

I thought the NFL combine was in Indy every year?

There are several combines that take place throughout the winter. Indy is invite only. The other NFLPA combines such as New Orleans, Minnesota, Maryland, etc are by registration with limited numbers accepted. While the combines are important, what's really important is getting with a truly dedicated and trusted workout facility, that can prepare you for "ALL" aspects of the combine/pro-day mentally and physically, and an agent that has the ability to promote you to the NFL scouts. It's a vigorous process that requires dedication and sacrifices beyond the norm just to get a shot.

Good for Tanner, I hope he makes the best of his situation. Anything to get out in front of scouts is a win IMO. Good luck to him.

Very stressful workouts and intense training sessions.....need day off in between workouts for muscle recovery.....he also is lifting weights on days not working on combine related drills

Good luck to this kid!

 

If you look at NFL rosters, you do not have to go to Alabama, USC, or Ohio State to make it in the league.

 

Is this the same Tanner Napier who played at Lafayette? If so, 6'5" is rather ambitious. The combine will get it accurate.

That was what MSU had him in the program.......

Yes that's the same Tanner Napier from Lafayette. Great kid, worked with him when he was a senior in HS. I wish him the best of luck! 6'5 isn't much of a stretch anymore. He grew a little more after high school.

Napier returned from Baltimore saying he had a very solid combine
