INDIANAPOLIS -- I actually saw the scouting combine Sunday afternoon for the first time in my life, and I came away thinking, "Is that all there is?"
A group of pool reporters, each assigned one player during the quarterback/wide receiver practice session, was allowed behind the iron curtain into a suite in the mezzanine of the RCA Dome, just above where the coaches and scouts and general managers sat.
