DEVO:
This weekend at the NFL combine, scouts and general managers had the job of assessing the strengths and weaknesses of college football players.
In watching individual players’ game film and seeing them perform live throughout the season, they’re able to separate out the talented players and have an idea of which ones have the best chance to succeed at the next level.
What’s interesting is how some players really jump out “on film,” but there’s a discrepancy once they do the drills and measurements during the combine. Their combine numbers reveal a different story.
Was their success in college was because of a particular coaching system or they were surrounded by talented players who made them look better than they actually are.
Because of this, one of the big decisions quarterbacks have to make at the combine is whether or not to do the throwing drills. It sounds crazy because if they really believed in their abilities and that they are the same player seen on film, they would have no problem showcasing their skills anywhere…with anyone.
But the reality is, they’re afraid that if they do throw during the combine, they might reveal certain weaknesses that didn’t show up on film and their draft stock could drop. If they’re already highly ranked, they don’t want to mess that up, so they hide behind the perception they created in college.
So what would you do? Throw? Or sit out the QB drills?
2 Timothy 2:15
Do your best to be the kind of person God will accept, and give yourself to him. Be a worker who has no reason to be ashamed of his work, one who applies the true teaching in the right way.
God has given each of us all types of talents, skills, and gifts. Don’t be anxious or nervous about what might happen if you mess up. Do you part, ask for God’s presence and guidance, and go do your thing! Be strong and confident! And above all else, know that you are Gods and nothing you do can change how much he loves you or take away the seat he’s saving for you in his Kingdom!
