The 2012 NFL scouting combine has kicked off from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, and you've come to the right place for all the real time updates you'll need to stay in tune with everything going on at the NFL's yearly job interview exhibition.
The first few days will be a little slower than the weekend, but from now until the last player leaves Indy, I'll make this your go-to spot for all breaking news, player interviews and intriguing media insights from this year's workout.
Draft season is officially in full gear—how great it is.

That will wrap up the 2012 NFL Scouting Combine.
It has been an absolute blast since last Wednesday. I watched Cam Newton's Under Armour commercial at least 35 times, (one for each touchdown he accounted for in 2011) and rediscovered my love for the song "Return of the Mack" by Mark Morrison thanks to another NFL Network commercial.
I heard Mike Mayock say the words "upside", "explosiveness" and "value" about 300 times and was blown away by the athletic performances I witnessed.
I really hope you enjoyed everything and appreciate you for sticking with me over the last week during these thorough underwear Olympics.
Next are the gauntlet of pro days across America, then finally the 2012 NFL Draft will take place on April 26th from the famed Radio City Music Hall.
Thanks again.
Before I leave for the last time, these are some final impressions from this week:
Guys who helped themselves:
Stephen Hill, Dontari Poe, Fletcher Cox, Melvin Ingram, Robert Griffin III (if that's possible), Luke Kuechly, David DeCastro. Lamar Miller. Alshon Jeffery. Michael Floyd. Janoris Jenkins and a few others.
Guys who hurt themselves:
Vontaze Burfict, Kendall Wright, and Mike Adams
The overwhelming majority of prospects did a lot of what we expected.
Glad it's done because it means we are that much closer to the draft, but I'm sad this exhilarating experience is over...
Much better hands from this second group of defensive backs.
This is the last drill of the 2012 NFL Scouting Combine.
Going into the "team" interception drill. Loved this earlier.
Harrison Smith isn't as tremendous of a prospect as Mayock is making him out to be, but he'd represent great value in the second or third round.
Yes, the defensive backs are going through on-field drills right now.
These video overlays are amazing. Absolutely hilarious. Wow.
Rich Eisen, TV analyst from NFL Network, runs a 6.03. Nice work.
The video overlays are awesome. Here goes Rich Eisen's 40.
The airing of Rich Eisen's 40-yard dash is coming up next. Yes.
Josh Robinson, who had the fastest official 40-yard time of the week at 4.33, looked smooth in backpedal and interception drill. Caught the ball with ease.
NFL Network profiling Jayron Hosley now. Love him as a prospect. A true gamer. Great ball skills.
Slideshow complete. Every single official 40-yard dash time from the 2012 NFL Scouting Combine can be found HERE.
Official 40-yard dash times are in....Updating now.

Still waiting on the airing of Rich Eisen's 40-yard dash.
Coty Sensabaugh was smooth in transition there. Still, I'm seeing a fair share of stumbling from these guys. Seems like a lot of nerves.
Mike Mayock now talking about how great of a baseball player he was and how great his ball-skills were.
OK, defensive backs going through backpedal and sprint drill.
Defensive backs about to run through on-field drills, or maybe they already are. The NFL Network is showing their "John Carter" promo now.
Something about these NFL and movie promos annoy me.
Corey White from Samford runs the last 40-yard dash of the 2012 Scouting Combine at 4.47. I'll have the official times updated the moment they are released.
According to Dan Kadar, Josh Robinson had 28 pass breakups over the last two seasons.
Josh Robinson from UCF, who ran an unofficial 4.31 in his first attempt, blazes to a 4.29 in his second try. Woah, woah, woah. Three-year starter with 10 picks during his collegiate career. Mayock says he doesn't play that fast on the field. Hmm.
OK. Now I'm taking that quick break.
