NFL Combine 2024February 26- March 4 – Indianapolis, In.

The NFL Network channel will televise the NFL Combine in its entirety. Every NFL front office personnel will canvas the workouts. Players will go through extensive testing on their athletic, intellectual and psychological abilities by the staffs of NFL clubs. Prospects will follow the Combine with school Pro Day workouts. The NFL Combine gives players a chance to impress pro scouts on a level playing field vs most of their top competitors.

With increasing interest in the NFL Draft, the scouting combine has grown in scope and significance, allowing personnel directors to evaluate upcoming prospects in a standardized setting. Its origins have evolved from the National, BLESTO and Quadra Scouting organizations in 1977 to the media event it has become today.

Pro day workouts will be held at various college facilities where the running surfaces can have a variety of compositions effecting their timed results. Pro Days are not standardized with all the NFL Combine events, though the scouts request a broader series of events at their scheduled events.       

On average, there are approximately 75-100+ NFL Combine players who will go undrafted while on average, 50+ non-invited NFL Combine players are drafted each April. Athletes attend by invitation only. An athlete’s performance during the NFL Combine can affect their draft status and salary, and their career. The NFL Draft has popularized the term “workout warrior”, whereby an athlete’s ‘draft stock’ is increased based on superior measurable qualities such as size, speed, and strength, despite having an average or sub-par college career.

The 2024 NFL Scouting Combine begins on Monday, February 26th. The athletic testing and field drills get underway on Thursday, Feb 29th. The events will once again take place at Lucas Oil Field in Indianapolis. Television coverage can be found on the NFL Network.
