Episode notes
Combine Feels Like A Marathon Job Interview
- Keldric Faulk described the combine as the biggest job interview, spending long medicals and meetings from 7am to almost noon.
- He compared scouting interactions to interviewing teams and said prospects should “file away” impressions for future career decisions.
Prospects Should Interview Teams Too
- Chris Simms advised prospects to treat the combine as two-way interviewing: learn about teams and mentally file impressions for future career choices.
- He warned that coaches' behavior now can influence players' decisions later when roles reverse.
Size And Technique Shape Faulk's Rush
- Faulk emphasized his physical profile: 6'6", 285 and long arms that drive his pass-rush style.
- He explained his go-to long-arm move as near hand/near foot drive with speed-to-power finishing above or below the QB.
