Live From 2026 Combine with Seahawks GM John Schneider | Schrager Hour

Peter gives the real lay of the land at the combine, including the bars and restaurants where decisions conversations are being had and decisions are being made. Peter goes through the schedule of events and details why this week is more about the general managers, coaches and agents than the actual players competing, themselves. The first guest is Seahawks GM John Schneider , who not only takes us through the building of his super bowl winning team, but also goes down memory lane on what the combine used to be like in the early 2000s. Then, trainer Nic Hill gives us an inside look on what he does to help the top names in college football prepare for and get the very most out of their combine experiences.
