Jake Ferguson, a tight end drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 2022, recalls his emotional experience at the NFL scouting combine where he expressed his dreams of joining the team. His interview experience with the Cowboys proved effective for both parties, confirming initial assessments without needing further visits. Assistant director of college scouting Chris Vaughn indicated that by the time they reach the combine, they are focused on verifying character and intelligence, illustrating the thorough scouting process the Cowboys utilize to evaluate potential players.
"I was like, 'I want to go to the Cowboys. I want to go to the Cowboys,' Ferguson said. I was manifesting it, and I walked in the [combine interview] and I was like, 'OK.'"
"By the time we get to [the combine], we are either confirming or verifying information," assistant director of college scouting Chris Vaughn said. "We've got a lot of information already, but if we think a guy's really smart, now we're verifying that."
