The NFL scouting combine started Monday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

On-field workouts begin at 4 p.m. ET Thursday and continue for three more days and will be broadcast on NFL Network. The event concludes Monday, Mar. 7.

The combine is the best chance for some of the top college football players in the country to show off their skills to NFL general managers, coaches and scouts.

Participation is by invitation only. All 32 teams provide input on draft-eligible prospects, and a Player Selection Committee then reviews and votes on each eligible athlete. The goal is to invite every player who will be selected in the NFL draft, according to the NFL combine rulebook.

On Feb. 9, the NFL released its entire list of 324 invitees.

Lakers vs. 76ers live streams: How to watch TNT game without cable

By Elsie A. Dotson 5 months ago

The Los Angeles Lakers continue their GRAMMYs road trip with another tough matchup against one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference in the Philadelphia 76ers.

The 76ers, despite missing an All-Star in Ben Simmons, have stayed afloat behind the MVP-caliber play of Joel Embiid, who has been otherworldly as of late. The superstar big man is enjoying one of the most dominant stretches of his career, going for over 30 points in five consecutive games while sprinkling in a 40-point and 50-point game during that stretch.

Over the 76ers’ last 14 games, they own a strong 11-3 record behind Embiid’s play. Over that span, Embiid is averaging a jaw-dropping 34.1 points, 10.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game.

He’ll be put to the test against the Lakers, who just returned their star forward Anthony Davis from a 17-game absence due to a sprained MCL. Davis, if he suits

WATCH: Nick Saban dances with Alabama players in locker room after comeback to win Iron Bowl in overtime

By Elsie A. Dotson 7 months ago

Earlier this week, Alabama head coach Nick Saban took umbrage with Crimson Tide fans who, no longer satisfied with simply winning, bemoan their team for not blowing out their opponents week-in and week-out. While Saban’s rant about “self-absorbed” fans made headlines, lost in his comments about certain fans was how the seven-time national champion supported his players by saying that kind of mentality was not fair to the team.

Saturday, Saban and his players got to reap the rewards of a victory that was far from easy to earn. For most of the Iron Bowl, the Crimson Tide was shut out by Auburn, which led 10-0 at the start of the fourth quarter. But on a 97-yard drive that began with 1:03 left to play, Alabama scored a touchdown to force overtime, in which they prevailed to win by a score of 24-22.
