In our many trip to Indianapolis to cover the NFL Scouting combine we talked to the UC players themselves and got a feel for how they were doing by talking to other members of the media.
This posting gives you a completely different look at the combine, from the perspective of a sports agent. We sat down with Connor Barwin's agent, Scott Smith, and talked to him about how his client was doing during this process. He said that Conner was doing great, but did UC properly prepare him for this experience?
The workouts at the combine get most of the press but it's what the media doesn't see that can make or break the trip to Indy. Workouts can happen a number of places, but the interviews at the combine are a one shot deal for both the players and the teams. Scott knew Connor would do well with interviews, but not this good.
The combine is often call a "job interview", and that's how Connor is approaching it. Scott and his team at XAM Sports and Entertainment put together a book that contains information on each NFL team. Connor studies this before each interview, something that separates him form the rest of the "job candidates".
We want to thank Scott and the rest of his team from XAM Sports and Entertainment for their cooperation in Indianapolis. For more information on the XAM group and what they offer their clients, click here.
