Did you know a #Purdue (and @Colts) team doctor helped bring the @NFL combine to Indianapolis? 🏈 Learn how Dr. Donald Shelbourne and his Methodist Hospital colleagues helped keep it there by providing unbeatable medical service at the event. purdue.university/3MZwf3Q

Did you know the roots of the modern combine have a strong Purdue connection from which it grew from? Check out the story about how our program played a role in what you see today. 🚂⬆️ #PurdueAT stories.purdue.edu/why-is-th… – at Indianapolis, IN

Why is the NFL combine in Indy? Ask a former Purdue doctor.

Dr. Donald Shelbourne, former team physician at Purdue and with the Indianapolis Colts, convinced the NFL to bring its scouting combine to Indy in 1987.

There's a difference between knowing and doing, simulation can help fill that gap. We don't wait for real life to demonstrate readiness, we rehearse it, we refine it, we repeat it. When the moment comes for real, preparation should feel familiar. #PurdueAT – at West Lafayette, IN
