The 2014 NFL Scouting Combine is just days away, Feb. 22-25, and with it comes the opportunity for more than 300 college athletes to improve their draft stock in front of NFL general managers, coaches and scouts from every one of the league's 32 teams.

The crowd at a Mizzou basketball game Saturday gave Sam a standing ovation. The Show Me State will show him the love. The Kansas City Chiefs could build on a comeback season by signing the All-America defensive end.

Sam's success will depend on his playing, but his arrival in the NFL could be very good news for the league. Let's face it: After that terrible Super Bowl, the NFL needs a distraction.
