It's definitely different from the camp. The camp doesn't have any of the below:
What happens at a Rivals Combine?
Players will have an opportunity to have their times recorded in key football testing areas. Football cleats and tennis shoes are allowed, but no track spikes. Players will be timed in the 40-Yard Dash (two runs, fastest time recorded), Shuttle Run (5-10-5 drill: player runs 5 yards to right, runs back 10 yards to his left, then runs the final 5 yards), 3-Cone Drill (player runs 5 yards to a second cone and back, runs around the second cone, runs a weave around the third cone, changes direction and runs back around the second cone to the finish cone), Vertical Jump(player's reach is measured, then he jumps and touches a flag. The difference between his reach and the flag is his vertical jump), Broad Jump (from balanced-stance, player explodes out as far as he can. A good jump means the player has landed on both feet. If he falls or takes a step in any direction the test is void and must be re-done)andPower Push Up (player gets in a push-up position and places his hands on a force plate for 3 seconds to determine the weight of the upper body. Player will then put his elbows at a 90 degree angle and explode up with as much power and force as possible. The results of the test include explosive power-generated by the player and percentage of body weight distribution). Combines will be run in two waves. Wave 1 will be from 7:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Wave 2 will be from 10:15 a.m. to 3 p.m.
