On March 22, more than 100 football players will convene in Tempe, Arizona for the NFL's inaugural Veterans Combine.
All 32 teams will receive video and tabulations of the results from weigh-ins, agility tests and position-specific drills.
The NFL hopes the event can serve as a springboard and give players a second chance. By pitting the free agents against each other in a competitive format, the league thinks more players will get noticed and instead of dozens and dozens individual workouts, the Combine will serve as a streamlined process.
There are older players on this list, like 30-year-old Adam Carriker, a longtime defensive lineman for the St. Louis Rams and Washington Redskins. And there are younger players, too, like 25-year-old defensive lineman Michael Sam, the NFL's first openly homosexual player, who was most recently on the Dallas Cowboys practice squad.
And there are also five former Cleveland Browns on the list: cornerbacks Aaron Berry and Julian Posey, tight end Emmanuel Ogbuehi (pictured above catching a Hail Mary in the preseason), wide receiver Carlton Mitchell and offensive lineman Randall Harris.
