LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Malik Nabers have decided not to participate in the measurements portion of the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, according to ESPN's Field Yates. Instead, both players plan to get measured at LSU's Pro Day on March 27.

While players at the Combine are usually willing to fulfill all requests made by teams, Daniels and Nabers feel confident in their abilities and believe they have little to prove at this stage. They believe that their Pro Day measurements will likely be more impressive, prompting them to pass on participating in the measurements portion of the Combine.

This decision appears to be part of a growing trend among top players who are realizing that they have the freedom to opt out of certain activities at the Combine. This includes Caleb Williams, who chose not to undergo medical exams, and Marvin Harrison Jr., who canceled his scheduled media appearance. It wouldn't be surprising to see a day when a top prospect decides to skip the Combine altogether.

For players like Daniels and Nabers, who have already showcased their skills during their successful college careers, the risk outweighs the potential benefits of participating in all aspects of the Combine. However, the Combine remains an excellent opportunity for many players, particularly those who come from smaller programs and are looking to catch the attention of NFL teams.

LSU's Pro Day on March 27 will provide Daniels and Nabers with a platform to showcase their skills and further impress NFL scouts and teams. By waiting until their Pro Day to take measurements, they hope to display their athleticism and physical attributes in a more favorable light.

It will be interesting to see how this trend evolves in the coming years and whether more top prospects will follow suit. As the importance of Pro Days continues to rise and players become more selective in their participation at the Combine, the traditional significance of this event may undergo significant changes.
