Tomorrow the NFL begins its annual combine in Indianapolis, where hopeful draftees will run through drills like the 40-yard dash, 20-yard shuttle run and bench press. You can watch it on the NFL Network (if you have a cable company other than Time Warner, which is what I'm stuck with).
According to the schedule, the real stuff begins Saturday morning, when tight ends, kickers and offensive linemen start running drills.
It's killing me that I won't be able to watch -- there are few places you can find this much athleticism on display.
But the combine's drills are good for more than just future pro cornerbacks. They're good for us. As Men's Health pointed out a while back, becoming proficient at the combine's drills will help you in plenty of sports beyond football.
And think about this -- the 20-yard shuttle run or the L drill could easily become your interval training.
