Every year it's the same, the media thinks they're gonna dictate whether a player rises or falls in the draft because of how they look in shorts. Only bad teams fall for this trope.

I think there was a time, probably 15-20 years ago where guys would get overdrafted by NFL teams on the semi-regular due to workouts (think Kyle Bollar or Brian Quick) but with front offices having better GMs (not just some meathead ex player) and analytic departments and many scouting depts overhauled to use it, I just don't think you see many teams being swayed significantly by combine or workout results any more.

There's always gonna be some reordering on the margins (like where in the top 10 Bain goes) but that's about it these days.

Yeah, I hope people noticed that when NFL Network would highlight their fastest 40 times or highest vertical jumps over the years, those lists were littered with mostly nobody's.

For every Chris Johnson there were five guys like John Ross.

Sadly I would say people don't notice that shit. You have probably a third who actually think for themselves. The rest tend to just jump on whatever trend sounds best to them in the moment on social media.

This is what happens when the education system loses all forms of accountability.

You have graduates nowadays who can't find their ass with either hand. So with athletes it's not really a surprise.

You aren't lying there. The dumbing down of America is real. Idiocracy was eerily on point.
