—the esteemed establishment where top athletes like Robert Griffin III and Curt Schilling have gone to train—gearing up to embark on a three-day physical excursion aimed at providing everyday folks with a little taste of what top NFL prospects go through while preparing for sports most enduring job interview, AKA the NFL Combine.

As for those who will, see what they went through leading up to their big night
, through Gillette’s “Pressure Points” series as they followed Jadeveon Clowney, Eric Ebron, and Aaron Murray in their prep.
