INDIANAPOLIS — It's a big day for Oklahomans.
Sam Bradford, Zac Robinson, Dez Bryant, Chris Brown and Keith Toston are stepping into Lucas Oil Stadium for the NFL Scouting Combine.
Bradford, of course, won't throw for scouts while in Indianapolis, but he'll spend the weekend interviewing with all 32 teams and will submit to a cadre of doctors and trainers who will grab his shoulder and examine his MRIs and x-rays.
The others will work out on Sunday. Offensive linemen and tight ends will work out Saturday, defensive linemen and linebackers go Monday and defensive backs hit the field Tuesday. NFL Network (Cox cable 252) will carry over 80 hours of live programming from the workouts.
Until then, it's interviews, psych exams, physical exams, Wonderlic tests, et al.
On Friday, quarterbacks, wideouts and running backs will be available for media interviews. OU tight end Jermaine Gresham, who didn't turn out for reporters during his scheduled session Thursday — probably because he was busy with doctors looking at his knees — is expected to attend Friday as well.
Here's a schedule of Friday's NFL personnel scheduled to meet the press (all times Eastern):
10 a.m.: Bears coach Lovie Smith
10:15 a.m.: Rams GM Billy Devaney
10:30 a.m.: Packers GM Ted Thompson
10:45 a.m.: Redskins coach Mike Shanahan
11 a.m.: Bengals coach Marvin Lewis
11:15 a.m.: Vikings coach Brad Childress
11:30 a.m.: Falcons coach Mike Smith
Noon: Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum
12:15 p.m.: Giants coach Tom Coughlin
12:45 p.m.: Texans GM Rick Smith
1 p.m.: NFL Network analyst Charley Casserly
3 p.m.: Packers coach Mike McCarthy
3:30 p.m.: Browns president Mike Holmgren
4 p.m.: Titans coach Jeff Fisher
