The NFL Combine is one of the biggest NFL Offseason events of the year and it starts tomorrow. A total of 319 college football prospects are heading to Lucas Oil Stadium for the combine as one of the last showcases ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft on April 23-25.
Breaking the schedule of prospects into 4 different days based on positions, here's how the schedule for the Combine will go.
Thursday:
D-Lineman, Linebackers and Kickers
Friday:
Safeties, Cornerbacks and Tight Ends
Saturday:
Quarterbacks, Wide Receivers and Running Backs
Sunday:
Offensive Linemen
The Combine along with NFL College Pro Days which start in March are the best ways to scout and learn about individual players strengths and athleticism before the draft. With the amount of performances and training we will see this weekend, the amount of differences we'll see in prospect grading will be substantial, (i.e. Big Boards will be changing a lot between now and the end of the Combine.)
While a separate article will capture the biggest risers and fallers of the combine later this week, this article is to show where these prospects stand as of now.
