“However, if you would like to leave the secure areas during free time in your schedule, you are now permitted to do so at your own risk.” The memo said that if players preferred “to remain in the secure areas and have approved medical support personnel enter the secure area to provide medical treatments, please follow the previously communicated procedure” in which they would have to register that individual for approval by the NIC.
“I understand their grievances,” agent Leigh Steinberg said Monday before the rules were eased. He noted that most of the 324 prospects invited to the combine have been training with a team of specialists “and they want to take their trainers with them to the combine, and they might want access to their agent. They might have family members. And they may have an entire support group both for their physical and emotional health – and the NFL regulations seem unduly restrictive.
These logistical decisions were made by the National Invitational Camp, which runs the combine, and not the National Football League itself.
