SPORTS BRIEFING

Herta takes St. Pete, ties father on IndyCar win list
with 4 — Colton Herta went a solid eight years ignoring any
advice about racing cars that came from his father, an actual
professional driver. Sunday on the downtown streets of St. Pe-
tersburg, in their very first race working together, Herta was
listening. He followed the sound of his father’s voice all the
way to victory and alongside him on IndyCar’s win list. Herta
raced to his fourth IndyCar victory to match the same total
his father, Bryan, achieved over his own 12-year career. The
son needed just 34 races for his four wins and he begins his
third full IndyCar season as a strong title contender. “Grow-
ing up I had a lot of arrogance and I didn’t want to hear any-
thing that my dad had to say,” Herta said. “And then I realized
— bigger, faster cars — I learned more about the sport and
I was like ‘Hey, he actually knows what he’s talking about.’”
Herta started from the pole and led a race-record 97 of the 100
laps to win his first race with Bryan Herta as his race strate-
gist. Andretti Autosport paired the Hertas for the first time
this year, dismissing previous father-son combinations that
simply didn’t work in IndyCar.
BASKETBALL
Magic coach Steve Clifford tests positive, will miss
games — Orlando Magic coach Steve Clifford has tested
positive for the coronavirus and will miss multiple games
while going through the NBA’s health and safety protocols.
Assistant coach Tyrone Corbin will coach in Clifford’s ab-
sence, starting with Sunday’s game against Indiana. Clifford
already expected to miss Sunday because of two positive tests
in a three-day span, and subsequent testing confirmed that he
has the virus. There is no timetable for his return. Typically,
those in the league who have tested positive have missed at
least 10 days before being cleared to resume work. That would
mean Clifford could miss much of the remainder of the sea-
son. Even if Clifford misses just a week, he would still be out
for five games. Other NBA coaches have missed some time
this season for virus-related reasons. Toronto’s Nick Nurse
had to miss three games because he and several of his assis-
tant coaches were dealing with the protocols, and Dallas’ Rick
Carlisle missed one game earlier this month following a false
positive test.
— Bulletin wire reports
Continued from A5
Although all 32 teams re-
ceived the videos from all 103
pro days, the lack of uniform,
electronic timing resulted in
suspect 40-yard dashes on fast
surfaces clocked by hand.
“It’s hard to compare apples
to oranges. You’d like to have
everybody run on the same
surface,” Chargers GM Tom
Telesco said. “That’s the biggest
part of the Indianapolis com-
bine when the players go in and
get their physicals done.”
Only 150 players went to
Indy this month for physicals,
leaving spotty medical reports
on many of the athletes head-
ing into the 259-pick draft.
All of this should result in
a wild weekend of buildup for
the 2021 season, when the NFL
hopes sellouts replace opt-outs
and normalcy returns in sports
and society alike.
“It’s a very complicated
draft,” ESPN analyst Mel Kiper
Jr. said. “I always say, ‘myste-
rious/complicated’ draft” be-

cause teams didn’t have uni-
form 40-yard dash times and
other measurements and didn’t
get to poke and prod the pros-
pects themselves.
“The opt-outs complicate
things even more,” added
Kiper.
“It’s a year like no other,”
agreed Bengals player per-
sonnel director Duke Tobin.
“There are players in this draft
who have really only played
one year of college football.
You’re projecting.”
More so than ever.
“There are guys in this draft
that (come) August it’ll be the
first time in 20 months they’ll
have put pads on,” Gettle-
man marveled. “And some of
those guys are very, very highly
rated.”
Hall of Fame executive Bill
Polian called this year’s draft a
throwback to a bygone era be-
fore technology changed the
scouting world.
“I think it will probably be
less homogenous than it’s been
in the past — which is not a
bad thing,” Polian said.

NFL Network analyst Daniel
Jeremiah said consensus this
year was as elusive as Tyreek
Hill is in man coverage.
“Look, group think is a real
thing,” Jeremiah said. “When
you get scouts that pal around
together, we go to the same
schools and you’d be at the
same places watching the same
players. Everybody ends up
talking and and you kind of
end up getting some consensus
on some players.”
Same thing at the combine.
“So there’s just been less
gathering. I think in some
ways it’s better because you get
individual evaluations,” Jere-
miah said. “But I can’t remem-
ber more variance just talking
to buddies around the league
about specific players where
the (evaluations) are so wildly
different.”
Jeremiah also considers this
shakeup a positive develop-
ment.
“That makes it fun,” he said.
“I think a lot of teams that I’ve
talked to have really tried to
shrink their draft board more
so than in years past.”
You know what else has
dwindled?
The entire pool of candi-
dates.
With the NCAA granting
an extra year of eligibility be-
cause of the pandemic, a crush
of players stayed in school. By
mid-April, fewer than 700 play-
ers had signed a standard rep-
resentation agreement with an
NFL agent, about one-third the
usual number.
That left this thinnest of
draft classes with their college
pro day performances to re-
place the one-stop scouting
combine — unless they were
lucky enough to get invited to
the Senior Bowl, where every
team got 15 minutes of face
time with them.
The result of all these factors
is a puzzling draft loaded at the
top but blindfolded at the bot-
tom.
“We had so many kids go
back to school. That’s what’s
going to impact the bottom
half of the draft,” Jeremiah said.
“That’s why everybody that I
talk to around the league just
says, ‘We don’t know what the
heck we’re going to do with the
sixth- and seventh-round picks.
If I can get rid of them I’m go-
ing to get rid of them’ just be-
cause next year’s class, with
those sixth- and seventh-round
picks, are going to be really
valuable.”
Risk-takers might find gems
this year, but the temptation
will be to load up on 2022 picks
when the pool of prospects will
be much deeper — and, the
hope is, better vetted.
This weekend, “there’s going
to be less to know about the
character of a person because
you just haven’t spent time
around them,” ex-NFL execu-
tive Mark Dominik said.
“The Senior Bowl was 15
minutes, and a lot of GMs
didn’t even go to the Senior
Bowl. So, they haven’t really
met the players.”
Teams were allowed up to
five one-hour videoconferences
with prospects this spring, so
that softened the blow of not
getting to fly them in or inter-
view them at the combine.
Still, team doctors couldn’t
get their hands on them.
Last year things didn’t shut
down until after the combine,
so teams had good medical re-
ports on the top 330 or so pros-
pects. This year, it’s less than
half that.
“You’ve got incomplete med-
ical information on these guys,
and nothing scares a general
manager more,” said Jeremiah,
who added that teams “aren’t
freaked out about the football
side of the evaluation. (They’re)
majorly freaked out about the
medical stuff.”
However it all shakes out,
Kansas State tight end Briley
Moore has a bold prediction
for this year’s draft class that
had to navigate such an un-
usual path to the pros.
“Ten years from now,”
Moore said, “this class is going
to be special just because of the
mental toughness that every-
one has built to go through to
play a full season and offseason
with the climate of the world
right now.”
