Atlanta's Elite NFL Combine Prep
Explode off the line. Own your splits. Nail every drill. At The Rack Athletic Performance Center in Atlanta, GA, our NFL combine prep is built to translate training into testing, so scouts see speed, efficiency, and polish when it counts.
Why The Rack's NFL Combine Prep Works
Every tenth matters on draft day. Our program aligns speed mechanics, strength, mobility, and position-specific skill with the exact demands of NFL Combine and Pro Day testing. You'll get individualized plans, pro-level coaching, and the support systems you need to peak on the right week, not three weeks early, not three days late.
- Run a faster 40 by optimizing shin angles, pelvis position, and front-side mechanics.
- Drop your 10-yard split with force-production and projection drills that shorten time to max velocity.
- Crush agility tests (20-yard shuttle, 3-cone) with rehearsed entry/exit strategy and decel capacity.
- Jump bigger by improving elastic strength, penultimate step timing, and hip stiffness.
- Own the bench test with range-specific strength, tendinous conditioning, and cadence discipline.
- Look polished in position drills: footwork, route stems, pass-pro sets, hand usage, pursuit angles.

Ed Miller From The Rack Athletic Performance Center
We're here to talk about how me and my team can increase your value in the NFL. The NFL Combine is the single most important event for NFL hopefuls. It's your chance to show off your skills in front of all 32 NFL teams. But if you're not in the best shape of your life, you may see your draft-day value drop significantly, and might never get your shot.
At The Rack, we specialize in turning potential into performance. Our program is specifically designed for athletes with NFL aspirations who need more than just training, but a proven system, expert coaching, and the environment to separate themselves from the competition.
Our staff of certified coaches have years of experience preparing athletes for the highest levels of football. We combine cutting-edge technology with time-tested training principles to maximize results.
Every NFL Combine drill is broken down and mastered, from the 40-yard dash to the 225 bench press. We refine sprint mechanics, agility, and explosive power to maximize test-day performance, and work closely with position coaches to sharpen technique and highlight the traits scouts want to see.
Using a state-of-the-art facility, we deliver measurable progress daily. Beyond training, we emphasize nutrition, recovery, and mindset so athletes enter the combine confident, prepared, and ready to dominate. This is the place for you.
What's Included in NFL Combine Prep
Biomechanics-driven speed training: Acceleration blocks, max-velo work, wicket runs, resisted sprints, and laser timing to monitor progress.
Strength & power development: Contrast training, Olympic-lift derivatives, trap-bar variants, unilateral strength, and force-velocity profiling.
Agility & change of direction: Entry/exit strategy for the 20-yard shuttle and 3-cone, decel mechanics, and rehearsed footwork patterns that reduce wasted steps.
Jump performance: RSI development, depth-to-box progressions, penultimate optimization, and landing robustness to keep gains healthy.
Bench 225 protocol: Range-specific bench wave loading, bar-speed tracking, scap prep, triceps density, and cadence practice.
Position-Specific Sessions
WR/DB: starts, transitions, 45/90 breaks, press releases, catch-point technique.
OL/DL: first step, pad level, hand placement, counter moves, short-area quickness.
LB/RB/TE: open/closed hip turns, pursuit angles, pass pro, route IQ.
QB: footwork sequencing, throwing windows, platform stability, on-the-move accuracy.
Film & testing strategy: starts, stance, sequencing, and drill scripts, so test day feels like a repeat, not a surprise.
Recovery & sports medicine: soft-tissue care, mobility mapping, NormaTec/boots, cold/heat exposure recommendations.
Nutrition & body comp: lean-mass preservation, fueling for speed, hydration protocols, and weigh-in strategy.
Data & feedback: laser timing, jump metrics, bar-speed, weekly progress checkpoints and individualized adjustments.

FAQs
How long is the combine prep program?
Most athletes complete 8 to 10 weeks, depending on current readiness, testing date, and position demands.
Do you time with lasers?
Yes. Laser timing for 10-yard and 40-yard splits, plus jump and bar-speed metrics, guides weekly adjustments.
Will you help with Pro Day prep if I'm not invited to the Combine?
Absolutely. The training and strategy are nearly identical, and we tailor for your specific Pro Day date.
Is the plan the same for every athlete?
No. You'll have an individualized plan based on assessments, position, and testing needs.
Do you handle recovery and soft-tissue?
Yes. Sports-med support, mobility mapping, and recovery tools are integrated weekly.
Can you improve my bench 225 test quickly?
We use range-specific strength work, bar-speed tracking, and scap prep to build efficient reps without form breakdown.
I need to drop body fat but keep speed. Can you help?
Yes. Nutrition coaching prioritizes lean-mass retention while optimizing hydration and fueling for speed and repeatability.
What do training weeks look like?
Monday: heavy upper-body lift / linear speed, acceleration focus.
Tuesday: heavy lower-body lift / skills work.
Wednesday: full recovery (FRC / Normatec / active recovery).
Thursday: dynamic-effort upper-body lift / linear speed, max-velocity focus.
Friday: dynamic-effort lower-body lift / skills work.
Saturday: multi-directional / change of direction / agility.
