UFFL Rookie Combine 2016
UFFL ROOKIE COMBINE 2016
Los Angeles, California (July 5-8, 2016)
In preparation for the UFFL Draft, the California Dons organization offered to host the 2nd annual UFFL Rookie Combine at the Scorpion's Dome training facilities, which recently completed construction 11 months ago. The Dons contribute their state-of-the-art workout facilities, Animalympic-size swimming pool, and the Ron Portman indoor practice building, where most sports analysts and reporters will offer their analyses of the events.
The Combine was delayed by two months, due to low attendance in 2015, however this was not the case for L.A.! The best and brightest of our football futures descended upon the city, ready to give it their all. The beautiful, sunny weather and warm heat did not effect the performances of the athletes, as it was an indoor event.

Testimonials
(in no particular order):
Mylene Jean: Jean had a decent combine that many of the scout's high expectations. Her training in the summer must've done the trick; she excelled in events, showing her agility and speed - which are known for her species.
Cecil Grates: Cecil Grates of Privost University was hard to miss, if by sheer size alone. The large player appeared to come in to show what all he was capable of, especially in the strength sector. However, he may just make up for what he lacks in that performance with his overall physical strength and height.
With the drills, he has shown that he does know his position well, and knows how to move at his size. He also had an impressive showing and showed that he does have good reactions and a good ability to read the offense. With some additional work, he could become very impressive in the long term. All in all, he did have a good showing at the combine, and many coaches and GMs are hoping to see what else he may be able to bring to the table during the run to the draft.
