Here are the quarterback participants for the 2016 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

In the NFL, there is no more important position than the quarterback. It’s hard to succeed without one and come draft time every year, teams are looking for their quarterback of the future. Some teams have hit on their quarterback picks while others have busted on theirs.

With it being draft season in football, all eyes will soon turn to the annual NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. This year, there will be a tremendous young crop of quarterbacks that will be throwing at the annual scouting combine.

Teams are going to be looking for quarterbacks with strong arms, accuracy and the ability to be mobile in the draft. It’s rare for a quarterback to possess all of those traits, but each team is looking for the most out of the young quarterbacks that will be participating in the combine.

Here’s a list of the quarterbacks that will be performing at the combine.

All eyes will be on the likes of Jared Goff, Paxton Lynch, Connor Cook and others at the combine. There are plenty of teams near the top of the draft that could certainly use a young quarterback and there will also be teams that will be willing to trade up to snag a quarterback.

Everyone knows who the big names on the list are. However, it’s going to be the names that haven’t had their share of the spotlight yet that will have their chance to wow scouts and general managers at the combine.
