Then, the league scuttled its annual scouting combine in Indianapolis, making it harder still for teams to evaluate the incoming class. AdโIn the draft, youโre just shooting from the hip because you just havenโt really spent any time around players,โ former Bucs GM Mark Dominik said. โYou talk about being able to deal with all the speed, I love the linebacker group, off-the-ball linebackers," Jeremiah said.
