This short video shows some information about the upcoming NFL draft; it also talks about some of the college records that are being broken such as the 40 run. Some of the upcoming players can run 40 yards in 5 seconds which is breaking many records. This video also talked about the fact that speed isn’t everything in football, speed helps but reading the ball and playing well in big games that count. The final thing that I would like to touch on is the fact that the video showed a bit of the manti te'o press conference and they said he looked very good and he was talking about meeting with some NLF teams.
At the NFL combine Addias put up a sign that says run the fastest and get a contract. I think this is a very good idea. They are marketing there shoes and players who have never gotten a contract before and now they are getting one and going to endorse it very well. Plus i was very suprised that an offfensive linemen got the fast time for a linemen ever. He was from a very small school and now he is playing with the big time teams. Lastly i think Manteo handled the situation very well. He has a lot of pressure on him and he held it calmly. Plus he didn't even sweat.
This video is about Adidas who offers a contract to the player who is running the fastest 40. Adidas try to get into the NFL market by offering this contract. Adidas is realizing that a lot of money can be make in Football and is trying to impose its name and promote its new shoes. But speed is not everything in Football, you have to have other skills to be really good, so maybe offering a contact to the fastest guy is not the best idea.

Adidas now is known for making light shoes for athletes that want to gain speed.The adidas company watches the nfl combine for the fastest players during the 40 yard dash.I think this is a good idea that they watch this to not endorse the famous players but to go for the ones that are going to perform well when they get to the NFL. Adidas is looking to endorse people at this combine, which gets the athletes to try harder to make there dreams come true.
This video talks about Manti Teo's news conference as well as his chances to be drafted by a NFL team. This video also talks about Adidas' Offensive Lineman 40 yard dash. Teo held his composure as he spoke in front of the largest press meeting he has ever done. He also has met with many NFL teams. These teams really need to look at how fit Teo is and if he can do all of the maneuvers that NFL teams need him to do. In the Adidas 40 yard challenge, Terron Armstead set a record time of 4.71 seconds. I think Adidas is doing this contest to bring attention of the major NFL teams to some young players that are really fast, even though they might not be well known.
Adidas is using the NFL Combine's 40 meter dash results to attract attention and publicity without having to actually pay the league. They made an offer to give a sneaker contract to the player with the fastest 40 meter time. By doing this they can associate themselves with the NFL even though players are not allowed to wear Adidas on the field. The winner was Marquise Goodwin. He can choose whether he wants to take the contract or not but either way Adidas got a lot of free press out of the deal.
the video wasnt there again. But for what i read adidas is trying to endorse its presence in the NFL. Adidas is doing it because they have absolutely no territory in the NFL since they dont have a contract with them,like nike or under armour.Adidas its a great sports brand of high quality therefore they should be allow to be on the NFL.Its time for adidas to get in the game.And the impact would be that if the player that win the competition likes the contract with adidas, they will gain much more territory and sign up more players in the NFL

I think that adidas is doing what they are doing because they think that if they give this contract to the fastes man in the nfl people will start buying from them. Just like nike did with Michael Jornden. I think this will effect Nfl because it will motive others to push themself to be the fastest.

This video talks about the big events happening in the NFL combine. First off, Manti Teo speaks in front of the press and seemed straightforward and the internet hoax rolled over. Next record breaking 40 yard dash times are being broken by linemen this year which is very important to draft value. Also, Adidas offered a shoe deal to the player who runs the fastest 40 yard dash. This will possibly sign them a future star in the NFL, bringing them Jordan like sales and effects. It is a gamble because the player could be a bust, but it could pay off big. If the player becomes a sensation and a solid player, it will bring them tremendous publicity and sales among sportswear. Overall, many big things are happening in the combine this year.
