Here’s the deal, you can go somewhere and work on your 40 time, be told eating a “good” diet 80% of the time is appropriate and play in the sand for six weeks or you can make a career choice and develop yourself into the most complete player you can be. The reality is this, the latter will yield much larger dividends than the formers.

I’m willing to bet every college offensive lineman reading this to some degree is capable of mirroring these times today, as is, right now, without a warm-up. This begs the question, you think these guys were that much “slower” prior to spending weeks on end trying to master techniques olympic level athletes spend their entire careers critiquing? The answer is a resounding no! These guys were what they were when they arrived and left the same way, maybe a tenth of a second “faster”. If you believe going from a 5.3 to a 5.2 is going to get you drafted higher, hate to break you the bad news, the Easter bunny isn’t real. The agent that is telling you the opposite, don’t hire him because this won’t be the last lie he tells you.
L.Bentley O-Line Performance Approach
The goal of combine preparation is for you to leave a bigger, stronger and leaner athlete. The sum of these benchmarks is a faster athlete, period. This isn’t to say there is zero time spent on learning and practicing the required battery of test for the NFL combine, that’s not true. Actually, former olympic athlete and leading sprint mechanics expert, Ian Danney prepares every player to perform at his highest level. What is true, six weeks is a good amount of time to improve your body composition, strength levels and football IQ, L.Bentley O-Line Performance chooses not to waste it practicing running in a straight line. You will be faster, quicker, leaner and stronger than you have ever been, thus resulting in elite level performance at the NFL combine.
