Not a requirement at all. You have to be invited to even go, but you don't have to accept that invitation.phaZe said:I thought the Combine was a requirement by the NFL for incoming draftees. If so, I doubt they would let players skip parts of it for no reason. I think not doing the 40 will hurt him just as much if he does do it and gets around a 4.5 time.vanillathrilla said:I think I remember hearing that Crabtree isn't going to run in the combine. It can really only hurt his stock if he does.phaZe said:The Rams have other issues they need to address. If all they needed was WR they wouldn't have another top 5 pick. I could see them doing that just because they know the Seahawks will probably take him if they don't and you don't want the rival getting a guy you know will be hard to cover.
But, until the Combine, it's hard to say if Crabtree is worth that pick anyways.
