A report surfaced a few weeks ago that the NFL players’ union was discussing the idea of boycotting the NFL’s Scouting Combine. Today, via the NFLPA’s Twitter account, that report was denied.
“Players will be at the combine, NFLPA spokesman George Atallah said on Twitter. “Young men have an opportunity of a lifetime. They are not locked out…yet.”
