We’d love to hear Mike Mayock‘s take on this.

Grace Trautner doesn’t have the measurables one would expect from a prospect at the NFL Scouting Combine. Of course, she’s 3 years old, so she has time to catch up with the field.

Watch Grace take in NFL Network’s coverage of the combine, then mimic a drill with a level of enthusiasm that makes you wonder if she got into a fresh batch of Pixy Stix. Grace’s father, Duane Trautner, served as cameraman and commentator.

“This started with Grace calling (the players at the combine) with long hair or earrings girls,” Duane, a Wisconsin native and huge Cheesehead, told Shutdown Corner. “Then, she just joined in on the fun.”

Call us softies, but we much prefer this to all the viral videos of children crying over the shortcomings of their favorite NFL team. We thank Grace and her father for trafficking in the world of innocent joy.
