The NFL Combine is a chance for every player in attendance to either make or break his stock for the upcoming draft. For those who perform well, one can expect to see their projected selection rise anywhere from a couple of spots to a couple of rounds, depending on their current projection. For those who struggle and look sluggish during the workouts, interviews and other aspects of the event, they can cost themselves some serious money with a poor showing.
