The 2010 NFL Scouting Combine officially got underway yesterday in Indianapolis with the arrival of offensive linemen, tight ends, kickers, and other special teams players. Today quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers arrived, with other positions set to come to Indy in the coming days. The workouts don't really get started until Saturday (kickers and other special teams players do work out on Friday) because yesterday, today, and tomorrow are basically a gauntlet of interviews, exams, and other off the field activities. Even so, draft fever is already heating up simply because of the fact that the NFL Combine has technically started, so let's take a look at what is taking place in Indy in the coming days.
