If you aren’t invited to the draft camp in Chicago, do players even get a chance to play in front of scouts? I assume if you dont get invite, your feedback comes from scouts watching video of your games. Is that correct?
I mean, it depends.
Technically, coaches can help get that kind of information for prospects. I can't speak to whether Manning and the staff does this, but I certainly hope that they do.
It's also accessible in an informal sense online (e.g., ESPN Insider, mock drafts, etc.). Most respectable draft analysts have a good sense of a prospect's draft stock.
Most importantly, there are a lot of other workout opportunities that aren't the combine. The idea is to get invited to a handful of those and see what present scouts/personnel think about your game.
