Notes on a trip to the NFL Scouting Combine.* Update Appended
There's a sense here in Indianapolis that LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey's absence is a problem for some NFL teams.
Dorsey, seen as a likely Top 5 pick, is missing the Combine because his grandmother died recently. And although this may sound callous, some NFL coaches don't think that's a good enough reason. After all, Adrian Peterson put on a show at last year's Combine just hours after learning that his brother had been shot and killed.
Dorsey will work out at the LSU pro day on March 26, and scouts have plenty of game tape of him to watch, so the Combine might not seem all that important for him. But Dorsey suffered through a knee injury for much of the 2007 season, and NFL teams want to get a look at that knee. And coaches -- some of whom won't make it to LSU's pro day -- want to meet Dorsey in person and ask him to tell a joke.
Will missing the Combine cause Dorsey's stock to fall? Probably not on most teams' boards. But if missing the Combine causes Dorsey to fall just a few spots, it will cost him millions of dollars.
Update: Dorsey had a change of heart and showed up Saturday afternoon.
