Scouting Combine Special with NFL's Sam Rapoport and ESPN's Stephania Bell - a podcast by The Football Girl

Melissa is back and in Indy straight from the hotel room of ESPN injury analyst Stephania Bell who breaks down the most crucial aspect of the NFL combine - the medical evaluations. Bell explains the intricate process of a prospect's medical check including the various types of medical personnel in the room. Melissa and Stephania also relish the unique accessibility at the combine, and share Stephania's many serendipitous encounters with SF GM John Lynch.

Then Melissa is joined by NFL Senior Director of Football Development Sam Rapoport on the heels of the league's third annual Women's Careers in Football Forum. Sam dives deep into the progress being made to normalize football by creating a pipeline for aspiring women. She also explains some of the questions ahead (How do you measure success? How should we promote female firsts without being too self-serving)
