The game that will determine the AFC representative in the Super Bowl could be played in an uncharacteristically intimate venue.Per multiple sources Andy Isabella Jersey , the AFC title game will be played at the StubHub Center, if the L.A. Chargers qualify to host it. The less-than-30,000-seat facility, which has played host to the Chargers for the last two seasons and will do so for at least one more, will be the site of the AFC championship, if the Chargers earn the right to host it.The game will stay at the much smaller stadium despite the presence of another NFL-ready properly little more than 10 miles away Brian Burns Jersey , regardless of whether the Rams are hosting the NFC championship game on the same day at the Coliseum.As MDS noted earlier in the day, the possibility of both the Chargers and Rams hosting conference championship games could eventually result in one team playing on Sunday and the other playing on Monday. For now, both L.A. teams could play at home on the same day in January, since they play in separate venues. INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Many headliners boosted their draft stock at the NFL’s annual scouting combine with a wonderful workout, a dazzling 40-yard dash, a brilliant bench press or http://www.panthersfootballauthentic.com...-authentic , in Kyler Murray’s case, just standing up straight.Mississippi State edge rusher Montez Sweat and Ole Miss wide receiver D.K. Metcalf were the big winners along with Murray , but others saw eyebrows raised and their value lowered after costly injuries, bad interviews or pedestrian performances.They’ll have to do better in their pro days and private workouts ahead of the draft in late April.One of the biggest disappointments was potential first-round pick Jachai Polite, an outside linebacker from Florida who put up unimpressive numbers in the 40 (4.84 seconds) and vertical jump (32 inches) before ending his workout Sunday with a sore hamstring.Clemson’s hulking defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence strained his left thigh running the 40 and sat out the remaining drills, disappointing scouts eager to see how the 350-pounder performed after missing the College Football Playoff because of a positive test for a performance-enhancing drug.Lawrence’s college teammate Will Grier Jersey , linebacker Tre Lamar, hurt his right shoulder on the bench press, and highly touted LSU cornerback Greedy Williams didn’t compete Monday after suffering cramps.The most serious injury came Sunday when Ohio State cornerback Kendall Sheffield tore a chest muscle while heaving225 pounds in the bench press drill. A torn pectoral typically requires surgery and a year’s recovery.More disconcerting to teams are the players who can’t use injury as an excuse. That group this year included:—Mississippi left tackle Greg Little. He labored through the on-field drills and posted poor numbers in the 40 (5.33) and vertical jump (25 inches). Those were among the worst for O-linemen and he skipped the bench press altogether.—Florida Atlantic running back Devin Singletary. The Owls‘ 5-foot-7, 203-pound playmaker piled up 3,300 yards and 54 touchdowns the last two seasons. But his hopes of shedding concerns about the level of competition he faced took a hit with a disappointing 4.66-second 40-yard dash.—Georgia running back Elijah Holyfield. His status as one of the few standouts in a rather weak running backs class took a hit when he was clocked in the 40 in 4.78 seconds, slower than the trio of punters and kickers who ran the 40 at the combine. Among running backs http://www.panthersfootballauthentic.com...-authentic , only Wisconsin’s Alec Ingold ran slower than Holyfield.—Georgia wide receiver Riley Ridley. He posted poor numbers in the 40 — 4.58 seconds — and the vertical jump — 30½ inches, which was second worst among wide receivers. Only Fresno State’s KeeSean Johnson at 30 inches was worse.—Texas WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey. Scouts were left wondering if he could win 1-on-1 matchups after he posted a 4.75-second 40, the slowest among wide receivers at the combine.Now that the combine is over, prospects can turn their attention to pro days and private team workouts — and not just the guys who had bad combines who are trying to impress.Murray didn’t throw or run in Indianapolis. All he did after getting measured at 5-foot-10 and 207 pounds was meet with teams. He said he’ll throw and run at Oklahoma’s pro day.Despite not breaking a sweat in Indy, Murray’s measurements placated concerns he was way too short and small to survive in the NFL. Now, all the buzz is about how he might even follow former Oklahoma teammate Baker Mayfield as the top overall draft pick.“I’m going to be happy wherever I go Jordan Scarlett Jersey ,” Murray said. “At the end of this, it’s an opportunity to go play football.”
