There were some impressive displays on Thursday in Indianapolis during the NFL scouting combine, but one standout performance in particular had the football world talking.

The clock might be ticking on the chain gang’s time on NFL sidelines.
The league tested optical tracking for line-to-gain rulings at MetLife Stadium, Hard Rock Stadium and Super Bowl LVIII this season, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported on Thursday. If implemented, it could take over the measuring duties from the league’s iconic chain gang.
Pelissero also reported the NFL is vetting other technology to aid officiating, including high-res cameras on the goal line, sideline and end line, and a Skeletrack System to track the football, players and officials.

Just under two months ago, Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy and Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. were slinging passes at the national championship in Houston.
Now, as the calendar nears March, the two are slinging passes in a convention center hallway in Indianapolis.
That sentence admittedly makes it sound like McCarthy and Penix have been forced into some sort of barnstorming or busking situation. However, no need to worry—they’re just warming up for the NFL scouting combine.
Iowa’s senior has been projected No. 1 in the 2024 WNBA draft all along.
Patrick Mahomes is getting pretty used to things going his way.
In six seasons as an NFL starter, Mahomes has won three Super Bowl rings, three Super Bowl MVPs and two NFL MVPs. He’s never failed to take his Kansas City Chiefs to at least an appearance in the AFC title game.
But even with all that success, there are still a few lowlights that haunt Mahomes’s football career, and one particular clip comes up every year around this time in the offseason.
It’s hard to imagine a less successful rollout of a new product than Major League Baseball‘s new Nike-designed, Fanatics-produced uniform set.
First, players expressed their frustrations with what they felt were thinner, lighter, lower quality jersey materials. Fans also noticed that the lettering and numbers on the new template were smaller, leading to bizarrely amateurish looking uniforms for several players with lengthy last names.
