Amazing! Colts to place Art Jones on season-ending IR

VIDEO: Incredible! Watch the outcome of the Ravens vs. the Saints!

If an organization like the NFL can successfully acquire outstanding player personnel by testing the innate talents (a/k/a aptitudes) of prospective players, the same can be done with managerial candidates or any other job candidate. The bottom line is that the NFL Combine is a highly successful recruitment model that others can emulate. How?

Perhaps if I were as wealthy as all the NFL owners put together, I’d create a Combine-like testing process for every job on the planet for others to use. Unfortunately, I don’t have that kind of wealth, but I don’t need it because there’s a viable alternative. It’s a nationwide non-profit organization that provides scientific aptitude testing for a vast array of career types. This organization is the Johnson O’Connor Research Foundation (JOCRF). In fact, JOCRF has performed aptitude testing for almost 100 years helping hundreds of thousands of people find their ideal careers. Just as the NFL draws exceptional player talent from the right tail-end of the bell curve using its Combine process, CXOs, HR directors, and recruiters can use JOCRF to scientifically test prospective employees for the aptitudes required to excel as a new-hire be it butcher, baker, candlestick maker, or manager.

Now that you know the NFL’s recruiting secret you can match its success by using JOCRF to identify and deploy HUGMs or simply to help you identify the best employees with the strongest aptitudes needed to produce the next generation of career SUPERSTARS.

A bit about the history of NFL:

NFL was started in Canton,ohio on September 17, 1920 by a group of enterprising men. Initially NFL was known as American Professional Football Association (AFPA). American Professional Football Association later got rechristened as National Football League (NFL) in 1922 and became America’s favorite sport. Jim Thorpe who was a professional Football player was the first president of NFL and helped add credibility and pouplarity for the sport.

Actually Pro Football began in 1892 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania when former Yale star William “Pudge” Heffelfinger was paid a notable sum of $500 to play in a single game for the Allegheny Athletic Association on November 12 1892. Then Pro Football was played mostly in the small towns of Pennsylvania and was mostly a Pennsylvanian sport before it started becoming popular in the eastern and Midwestern states like Ohio.

Initial Pro Football days faced several problems including lack of rules, keeping the players in order and professional recognition. But with the formation of APFA all the problems started to wade away. Actually there were 11 franchises were presented at the first APFA meeting. They were

Canton Bulldogs

Decatur Staleys

Chicago Cardinals

Akron Pros

Cleveland Indians

Dayton Triangles

Massillon Tigers

Hammond Pros

Muncie Flyers

Rock Island Independents

Rochester Jeffersons

After signing a five-year, $33 million contract, the hope was that Jones would solidify a unit that has given the Colts trouble over the years. In a heavy push for the Super Bowl in 2015, it remains one of their biggest weaknesses.

The former Raven will now have to wait another year to make his way back on the field. Expect the Colts to be active over the next few days as rosters downsize.
