The NFL Combine is an important event on the sports calendar, but some of the most impactful events of the week are partly influenced by a restaurant.

Mike Silver takes you behind the scenes at St. Elmo Steak House in Indianapolis during NFL Scouting Combine week, a place where agents, GMs, coaches and players congregate ahead of the opening of free agency and the NFL Draft.

The restaurant has been around for 124 years and one week a year hosts the other side of the combine where coaches and talent evaluators meet up with the media and agents.

โ€œItโ€™s really one of our busiest weeks of the year, but at times you are walking by and for people that even I recognize, seeing them deep in conversation, you know somethingโ€™s going down,โ€ St. Elmo general manager Richard Edwards said.
