INDIANAPOLIS — Robert Saleh and his coaching staff aren’t attending the NFL combine in person. The coaching staff will conduct interviews virtually and the Jets front office and scouting department is in Indianapolis.
Saleh felt staying in New Jersey was a better alternative for the Jets staff as they prepare for free agency.
“Really felt for us it’s just a more efficient way to utilize our time,” Saleh said. “There’s a lot of medical checks, there’s a lot of testing, there’s a lot of poking and prodding players. So, there’s a ton of downtime. So, we felt like it’d be a great use of our time to stay here, dive deep into the draft work on free agency, revisit the Senior Bowl. We’ve gotten a lot of work done….We still have pro days, we still have private workouts. We still have our 30 visits. We still have so many more conversations.”
Later on in the week, the positional coaches will fly down to observe the drills for the prospects. So the Jets coaching staff will be there in some capacity.
