Dolphins owner holds 'business combine' for Ryan Tannehill, 15 other players
While 330 draft prospects are headed to Indianapolis this week for the NFL Scouting Combine, 16 Miami Dolphins players will head north to New York where they’ll take part in their own combine.
Team owner Stephen Ross, for the second straight year, is holding what he calls a “business combine.” The goal of the event is to prepare players for life after football, which can be troublesome for former stars who are no longer receiving a steady paycheck.
“This is really to give them an insight into what business is about,” Ross said, via the Miami Herald. “I mean, don’t forget, these guys have concentrated their college and their professional football careers into becoming better football players and have been kind of shielded a little bit from the business world.”
“This is really to create them and develop them so that when they do make the transition out of football they’re better prepared,” Ross continued. “I think every owner should have the responsibility of developing them (players) not only as football players but also after their careers and as people.”
