Yes, Joe is a little late on this. Better late than never.
Behold are photos Joe took with his crappy cell phone camera — unless there is direct, bright sunlight, these Samsung Galaxy 4 photos always turn out fuzzy (Joe wishes he could use his Canon SLR, but one only has two hands and can only juggle so many tasks at one time). So Joe apologizes to the nuts out there he knows will criticize the quality of the photos.
The cool thing about the combine is that it is so relaxed. At any given moment, you are liable to run into a coach or general manager, of NFL heavy hitter as if you are at a bar or restaurant — and sometimes even in a downtown Indianapolis bar or restaurant.
Joe hopes you enjoy some of the sights behind the scenes, fuzzy photos aside.

The concourse of Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Saturday, the last day of media availability at the NFL Scouting Combine. It’s a ghost town compared to the previous three days when it was filled with radio stations and TV networks broadcasting live. It was a complete beehive of activity, the exact opposite of this scene.
