The annual combine can be a make-or-break event for potential NFL draft picks, and 2012 saw its share of standouts and washouts.
- Chris Givens: Stepped foot in an NFL stadium for the first time and immediately died
- Andrew Luck: Scouts didn't even pay attention to anything he did, as Indianapolis is going to take him no matter what, so really, why do they even bother? Being a scout sucks
- Morris Claiborne: Failed to account for finite temperature effects on the spin polarization of neutron matter when taking the nuclear physics portion of the Wonderlic
- Aaron Rodgers: Struck many scouts as arrogant and egotistical when he failed to show and claimed exemption, having already been drafted years ago
- Trent Richardson: Performed best among all running backs in wearing the shit out of some Under Armour
- Brandon Weeden: Was unable to offset fears about his age when measurements showed he had aged 42 years between the Fiesta Bowl and the combine
- Robert Griffin III: Disappointed scouts looking for the next Tim Tebow after repeatedly throwing the ball directly to receivers with commendable accuracy
- Dontari Poe: Confused scouts by only tallying two bench-press reps, but at 24,765 pounds each
