The 7-time Super Bowl Champion, 5-time Super Bowl MVP, and 3-time NFL MVP had humble beginnings at the 2000 NFL Combine, and he openly jokes about it.

The 2023 NFL Combine is just the beginning.
Coaches and front office personnel go through a long and methodical process of evaluating players and building their draft boards.
The next two months are very labor intensive.
The hard work is realized and manifested at the 2023 NFL Draft from April 27 through April 29, 2023, in Kansas City.
