The athlete then pushes off their dominant leg in the opposite direction for 5 yards and touches the line. This drill is also known as the "short shuttle" or the "5–10–5" drill." The athlete starts at the center cone of three cones, each a distance of 5 yards apart. The name is derived from the total yards that athletes travel during the drill. Canadian football also uses the shuttle test. Although not as highly regarded a test as the 40-yard dash, it is still an important barometer used by NFL personnel to compare players. The 20-yard shuttle, also simply called the short shuttle, is primarily run to evaluate the quickness and change-of-direction ability of players. Empirical research published in 2011 found that the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, 20-yard shuttle, and 3 cone drill tests have limited validity in predicting future NFL performance, suggesting that a prospect's past performance in college is a better indicator of future NFL performance than the aforementioned physical ability tests. Sports writers question whether these tests have any relationship with NFL performance. Interviews – each team is allowed 60 interviews in 15-minute intervals.It was held in Arizona in 1985 and once again in New Orleans in 1986 before permanently moving to Indianapolis in 1987. It was renamed the NFL Scouting Combine following the merger of the three camps in 1985 to cut the cost of running the extra camps. The NIC was held in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1984. For non-member teams, two other camps were created and used 1982–1984.
as a means for member organizations to look at NFL draft prospects. It was originated by National Football Scouting, Inc. The national invitational camp (NIC) was first held in Tampa, Florida, in 1982. Prior to 1982, teams had to schedule individual visits with players to run them through drills and tests. Tex Schramm, the president and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys from 1960 to 1989, proposed to the NFL competition committee a centralization of the evaluation process for NFL teams. The draft has popularized the term "workout warrior", whereby an athlete's "draft stock" is increased based on superior measurable qualities such as size, speed, and strength, despite having an average or sub-par college career. An athlete's performance during the combine can affect their draft status and salary, and ultimately their career. Its origins stem from the National, BLESTO, and Quadra Scouting organizations in 1977. With increasing interest in the NFL Draft, the scouting combine has grown in scope and significance, allowing personnel directors to evaluate upcoming prospects in a standardized setting. The NFL Scouting Combine is a week-long showcase occurring every February at Lucas Oil Stadium (and formerly at the RCA Dome until 2008) in Indianapolis, where college football players perform physical and mental tests in front of National Football League coaches, general managers, and scouts.
