RUMORS SWIRL ABOUT ELECTRONIC TIMES FROM SCOUTING COMBINE

A league source tells us that there apparently was a problem at the Scouting Combine with one of the fairly important events. Per the source, the electronic timing in the 40-yard dash might have malfunctioned at times. As a result, the source says that some of the official reports that have been generated by the folks who run the Combine are showing hand-timed results only, with the spaces for the electronic times blank. That said, we’ve asked several sources connected to NFL teams regarding whether the electronic timing was flawed, and the sources weren’t aware of any problems with the electronic timing. Cue the “What the hell would the janitors know anyway?” comments. We’ll keep our ears open on this one. Maybe the kids who unload the Gatorade have heard something.
