Rookies, agents won't boycott NFL Combine
Philip Rivers - QB - San Diego Chargers
Feb. 14, 2011 - 3:05 PM ET

Profootballtalk.com reports that incoming rookies and agents have decided against boycotting the Scouting Combine.

It was just an empty threat. There's still speculation of an NFL Draft boycott due to the lack of a new CBA (and the owners' stubbornness at the negotiating table), but draft-eligibles only would've hurt their standing in the league by skipping the Combine. Expect personnel types to look particularly unkindly on players that don't go through full workouts in Indy this year.
