NFL Combine Report: Jamie Dukes blames Dallas Cowboys for higher combine standards
Network mouth Jamie Dukes is mad because he wasn't invited to the combine when he was coming into the league in 1986 out of Florida State.
Dukes was an All Pro offensive lineman, but he wasn't invited to the 300-player event that tests players' strength, speed, agility and overall talent.
Dukes says it is the fault of the Dallas that he was not invited.
NFL Network analyst Jamie Dukes can vouch for that. Despite being a four-year All-America offensive guard at Florida State, he didn't even get invited when the combine was held in 1986.
"Height was an issue,Brian Hartline Jerseys," said Dukes,Yeremiah Bell Jersey, who is 6-foot-1. "The Cowboys had put together these principles that mandated centers had to be 6-3 or better, guards 6-4 and tackles 6-5. I had eight to 10 teams that said they wanted to draft me but said their general manager wouldn't allow it."
The combine is the biggest NFL event in the offseason besides the actual draft. At these events we all get to see players we only hear about on the draft boards. Not all of the best guys are going to be there, but there's always newfound talent at these things,nike nfl jerseys.
