I'm sure you all have your favorite NFL guru.
On Twitter, some of you mentioned SI's Peter King and his tweetup here. I didn't make it. I already had my jammies on. He seems geniune. Says hi to everyone and has done quite a few interviews here. I think he lost his iPad yesterday.
The ESPN duo of Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter are all over the place here. They wear suits.
It's Sunday morning. This is the last day for media interviews. I think I might have four today, so I scurried to Lucas Oil Stadium early to gear up.
Already here, taking notes of the QBs running their 40s, is ESPN's John Clayton.
This is probably his millionth combine. If anyone could plead old hat here, it's Clayton. But no, he's dutifully taking notes and commenting on every 40.
The lesson here is to go in with enthusiasm, even if you're walking through the door for the millionth time.
Looking for interviews today from Iowa safety Tyler Sash. I was told by some NFL folks yesterday that if he runs in the range of 4.55 to 4.6, he could go as high as the third round.
Sash, who measured 6-foot-1, 210 pounds, is one of just 10 safeties invited to the combine. The 40 is a big deal for him.
Iowa D-lineman Karl Klug and linebacker Jeremiha Hunter also might be made available. Iowa State cornerback David Sims also is here.
Not sure when or if they'll all be made available.
