The NFL combine rolls on, and it is curious to see who is raising their value in the sports betting world with their performance in the combine.

Quarterback Sam Bradford of Oklahoma had a rough 2009 season. He hurt his shoulder early in the season, and then hurt it again when he tried to come back. He did not get a chance to play in a bowl game, and he had to miss the Senior Bowl as well. Bradford’s abilities were never called into question. The buzz is that this kid is the real deal at quarterback. The questions were about his durability and whether or not he could avoid long-term injury in the NFL.

Bradford needs to impress at the combine. He is scheduled to work out towards the end. Scouts want to see all of the tools that has made Bradford a tempting prospect, and they want to see if he has the stamina to get in the weight room and add the bulk he will need to survive the NFL.

Another quarterback that needed to impress at the combine is Tim Tebow. After a terrible showing at the Senior Bowl, Tebow needed to be hitting on all cylinders at the combine to raise his value in the draft. While Tebow is not breaking any combine records, he is turning in consistently high numbers in everything he is doing. In some cases his speed numbers are better than the running backs and receivers in the draft. That is not too surprising considering that Tebow’s strength is his ability to run. But Tebow is not showing too well in the upper body exercises, and it is his inability to throw an accurate long ball that will keep Tebow out of the top 15 picks and maybe even drop him to the second round.
