NFL executive Troy Vincent reportedly characterized the league's scouting combine as a 'slave auction' and his remark caused a stir at the league meetings.
According to CBS Sports, Vincent told owners the combine would have a less rigorous medical evaluation process, something that has drawn criticism in the past.
"We just feel like the overall experience, talking to the players, we can be better in that particular aspect," Vincent told reporters."So there was, I would say, a good discussion around what that looks like, where we could be, keeping in mind that the combine is the player's first experience with the National Football League. And, in that experience, there has to be dignity.
