Combine is wrapped up. Grateful for another year of being part of the Specialist Showcase. We appreciate the trust from NFL coaches to supplement this great event. The bar is being raised every year!

A cool sports media note... Ace spotter @blackfor3 works w/ both ESPN's @cbfowler & NBC's @miketirico. A few weeks removed from the CFP National Championship, Mike is Tirico's eyes in the booth for #SBLX.
A former @BroncoSportsFB kicker, Mike is a great guy. Kudos to him.

#Ravens assistant Randy Brown, a coach with the team since John Harbaugh’s first season in 2008, has agreed to remain in Baltimore, sources say. Brown has worked closely with the team’s Pro Bowl specialists and will continue in a similar role on Jesse Minter’s coaching staff.

FINAL NON-KICKED EXTRA POINT IN #NFL REGULAR SEASON HISTORY
After a low snap, #Seahawks placekick holder — and at the time the NFL's all-time leading receiver — Steve Largent logs the very rare "extra point run" one-point conversion.
The second one-pointer of his Hall of Fame career
(Note: The NFL didn't adopt the two-point conversion until 1994)
#Seattle nips Buffalo by...one point...17-16 on Monday Night Football.

In the #Seahawks' first-ever primetime appearance, holder and starting quarterback Jim Zorn hits placekicker Efrén Herrera with this nifty fake field goal pass for a first down.
Seattle would go on to defeat the Falcons on Monday Night Football in Atlanta, 31-28.
ABC's Frank Gifford hints before the play that something might be afoot, then Howard Cosell loses his mind afterwards in praise of Seahawks head coach Jack Patera's creativity.

And shout out to #MNF’s ace booth spotter @blackfor3.
Mike returns to Seattle tonight where he was a placekicker at nearby Bellevue HS before kicking for @BroncoSportsFB. Tonight is Mike’s 3rd straight assignment this wknd after Ole Miss-UGA and SNF’s ATL-SF. Mike’s an all-star!
