The combine

You start superstar mode, and pick your position and design what your player looks like. then they put you in with your group for your work out

DAY 1: vertical jump- kind of like a kicking meter except the bottom of the meter were accuracy usually is, is how vertical you jump (basically it determines at what angle your player jumps at, your goal obviously is to get it at 90 degrees). you get 2 attempts and after each attempt a screen pops up that ranks a list of players and shows where u rank among the other people in your work out group, and you can toggle between your group and everyone in the combine.

Shuttle drill- you tap X rapidly to run and press R1 to change directions at the cones. And when your finished you have the ranking thing again after each attempt
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
after day one u talk to your agent about your draft status.

DAY 2: Bench press- there are two stages "the drop" and "the press" and its all about rhythm. you press O to "drop"
and X to "press" then there is a ticker that goes from left to right. when it goes to the right you drop, when it goes to the left you press. the ticker starts off slow and gets faster and faster the more reps you get. just like in real life you only get to bench once so after you finished you can so how match up against all the other people in your group and everyone in the combine.

The infamous 40- for the 40 you use the right and left analog sticks to control each of your legs. obviously the left stick controls your left leg and the right controls the right leg. pressing forward on the right analog stick pushes your right leg forward. pushing back on the analog stick pushes your leg backward (as in your back swing). so when you press the right analog stick forward you must press the left analog stick back. you start off slow, and as you see your players momentum increases, you increase the rate at which you press the right analog sticks back and forth. once your finished you see your unofficial 40 time. and where your unofficial 40 ranks among your group and everyone in the combine. then you repeat the process for your second 40.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
at the end of day 2, you meet with your agent to see your current draft status.

DAY 3: the IQ test- they can just use the same one they have in the game now.

meet with head coaches- I know in real life players meet with every single head coach in the league. but to make things a little more interesting you are interviewed by the top 3 most interested coaches. and they ask you some more IQ type question.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
finally you meet with your agent for the last time and he tells you where he thinks your going to fall in the draft and consults how you feel about going to the team that is most likely to pick you up. if you don’t want to go there you can try to pull a "Eli manning" on draft day.

(you could also throw these drills in with the mini games for practice).

I like the idea of implamenting the combine in madden, though i feel u may have taken it to the extreme. Make the combine less complex but still have various conversations with your agent and coaches around the league. I would also like to see a combine in the fran. mode. In this mode you would just watch some of the players you select in the draft scouting mode. You would get a summary of what they did and maybe talk to some of the agents.
