New to NFL Network's Combine coverage this year is the UA E39, a compression shirt fitted with electronic sensors that track the body's natural motion and biometric signals, which are then sent to a tiny device on the front of the shirt. This device tracks and keeps all of the athlete's critical data, including breathing rate, heart rate, horse power and G force generated. The UA E39 will give NFL general managers, coaches and scouts an unprecedented look at the athletes during their evaluations.

The latest edition of The Rich Eisen Podcast' is now available for download on NFL.com and iTunes. As the 2011 NFL Scouting Combine gets ready to kick off from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Thursday, February 24, NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock offers his view on the top prospects, such as Auburn defensive tackle Nick Fairley, North Carolina defensive end Robert Quinn and the quarterbacks Cam Newton, Jake Locker, Ryan Mallett and Blaine Gabbert. Mayock also offers his view on the business of evaluating players and recounts a defining moment in his career. Next up is Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff, who is heading into his fourth NFL Scouting Combine in his current role. Dimitroff details his ideology when it comes to free agency, the NFL Draft and the Scouting Combine, including the interviews each team has with the prospects. Finally, with the Academy Awards coming up on Sunday, Eisen gets the Oscar picks from former Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints head coach Jim Mora, Sr. Prior to coaching football, Mora grew up around movie studios so he has always been a big movie buff. With that background, Mora picks the winners from all of the major Oscar categories.
Below are select quotes from this week's edition:
- "My entire thing when I got into the evaluation of player personnel was by definition you're going to be wrong a percentage of the time. What you owe to people that play the game for a living and coach it for a living and evaluate for a living and the fans out there, is just as much hard work as you can give and as much integrity as you can give." Mike Mayock on the evaluation of player personnel
- "I'm probably going to walk in there on the first day of the defensive line drills and say he's the No. 1 pick in the whole country. And he didn't play last year." Mike Mayock on North Carolina defensive end Robert Quinn
- "Some people argue they're just in their shorts and t-shirts, how do you really gauge football players? My feeling is if you've done your work as far as evaluated off of video like you should do, then this just supplements your opinion and I think it's invaluable." Thomas Dimitroff on the importance of the NFL Scouting Combine
