All the information you need to know about when the NFL Combine is.
If you’re a fan of all but the two teams in the Super Bowl, then it’s time to look ahead. I mean, yeah, the Super Bowl is always good fun and all but for 30 teams’ fan bases it’s a voyeuristic pleasure. Prop bets, halftime shows, enjoying the pageantry – no real skin in the game. But I digress …
Following the Super Bowl, the National Football League’s next crown jewel is the NFL Combine. Throughout the years, the league has done a grand job at promoting its annual meat market. Whether Rich Eisen running the 40 in a three-piece suit, or a million dollar run with adidas cleats, the NFL gets its product out there.
This year, the biggest point of intrigue will likely be quarterbacks. Whereas last year there were two clear-cut favorites (Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota), this year there are quite a few quarterbacks lumped together. Paxton Lynch, Jared Goff, Connor Cook, Carson Wentz – all could conceivably go in the first round, and look for them to rise and fall like the tide up until the draft in late April.
As for the question you likely came here for: When is the NFL Combine? Well, the answer, friends, is Wednesday, February 24 through Monday, February 29. It will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
