Bob Myers observed quarterback interviews at the Combine as well.

The Commanders declared the appointment of former NBA General Manager Bob Myers as a consultant the day following the conclusion of the regular season. Following the hiring of a general manager and head coach, he remains a consultant.

Myers is still collaborating with the Commanders, according to Bryan Manning of USA Today. He recently disclosed that, along with owner Josh Harris, he attended quarterback interviews at the Scouting Combine.

“On occasion, we had a brief conversation regarding these 15-minute interviews or these quick snapshots,” Myers stated. Sometimes, you realize it was a mistake and overreact to a positive or negative interview. That is not shrewd. Making a significant decision in fifteen minutes is never a wise move. Thus, simply exchanging thoughts and experiences is beneficial because there are many parallels between the NFL and NBA combine.

There are parallels between them. There are distinctions between them. These two sports are distinct from one another. Furthermore, Myers and Harris are both novice football players. Despite this, Myers hasn’t let anything stop him from putting on his work clothes and showing up at the Combine.

“Had a meeting about free agency with [GM] Adam Peters and [coach] Dan Quinn,” Myers stated. “Having a meeting and hanging out with Josh when he was in town. Just being open about the fact that I didn’t know a great deal. Inquiring about topics where I could find similarities, I would say something like, “This is the NBA’s take on how we handled free agency.” On occasion, asking questions can assist the Commanders’ leaders in coming to their own conclusions.

When you pose a question, you may occasionally allude to your intended response. That’s what Myers needs to stay away from.

Sharing viewpoints between Harris and Myers is very acceptable. If they grow close to a player just by chatting to him, and if they tell other members of the organization about it, it becomes an issue. Because of this, quarterbacks like Bryce Young or Johnny Manziel get selected by NFL teams in the draft rather than players like C.J. Stroud or anybody else at all.

Harris is free to manage his team any way he sees fit. In the meantime, he believes it appropriate to include a former NBA general manager in high-level discussions and choices. If it works, see if anyone else can replicate it. In the event that it doesn’t, Dan Snyder, at least
