Should Jameis Winston sweat? Don't believe hype on background checks spotting character at scouting combine


The NFL scouting combine begins this week and the activity that yields the least information compared to its hype isn't the 40-yard dash times of nose guards.
It is team executives posturing about how diligently and effectively they are determining "character."
Private investigators. Private interviews. Background checks. Psychologists. Blah, blah, blah. There is nothing the NFL likes to do more than brag on its self-importance, and no time does the league lay it on thicker than when claiming it is "doing their due diligence" on a prospect.
