Some primetime workouts could potentially be held at a new Rams/NFL Network campus in L.A. NFL
The NFL is "considering moving at least one day and perhaps more of the combine workouts to evening TV as soon as next year," according to sources cited by Peter King of NBCSPORTS.com. The move would be "not only to spike the TV ratings, but also perhaps to get the NFL's new Rams/NFL Network campus that's being built" in L.A. to "host at least some" of the primetime workouts. One idea that has been "thrown around is to have the medical exams in Indianapolis, and then the workouts and player interviews" in L.A. (NBCSPORTS.com, 3/4).

This was "nothing more than a mashup of 'The Bachelor' and 'Project Runway,' with your host, Mel Kiper Jr., assuring us" that former Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins' "horrible 40 time doesn't really matter" (L.A. TIMES, 3/4).
