We are a week from the combination of the NFL 2025. This means that everyone in the NFL will meet in Indianapolis, Indiana, where we officially start the count of the NFL recovery in 2025.
The combine harvester is important for many reasons, the least of which are the drawing times of 40 yards. Yes, the teams want to see the speed of a player, but the film always prevails over training. The teams use 40 as more confirmation than everything related to the speed and athletics of a player.
Different teams, in particular managing directors, are looking for different things. What is an important feature for Washington Commanders The managing director Adam Peters?
Ryan Fowler, NFL analyst for the network project, discovered excellent information about Peters. Peters is a big fan of the short shuttle exercise.
Some teams have specific thresholds of a height, a weight, a speed, a length perspective, while some GMs have certain benchmarks that can really move the needle on a player.

The commanders wrote the players with two of the three best short turnips in the NFL combination last season, three of the first 12 and four of the first 22.
The Mike Sainristil corner half and the Luke McCaffrey wide receiver had the second and the third best shuttle time compared to the combination of last year. The Domonique Hampton secondary / security and the winger tight Ben Sinnott were two of the other players in Washington with excellent short shuttle times.
What does the short shuttle measure? Most importantly, it tests the capacity to change a player management and indicates speed and agility. These are undoubtedly more important features than a 40 yards dashboard, in particular specific positions, such as the cornerback, the wide receiver and the tight end.
So, even if it is not the ultimate indication of who will choose Peters, if you are a fan of Washington, you should pay particular attention to these short shuttles next week.
