NFL Draft preparations kick into high gear with the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, from Thursday, Feb. 27, to Sunday, March 2.
With the draft two months away (April 24-26), prospects will be in Indy looking to boost their draft stock through combine workouts — showcasing their abilities and athleticism in front of NFL evaluators. Prospects also will meet for interviews with teams.’
Front-office decision-makers and most coaches will meet with the media on Tuesday and Wednesday. In many cases, it will be the first time general managers and coaches have spoken about their teams since end-of-year news conferences or media events to introduce a new head coach. With free agency around the corner (the negotiation period begins March 10), offseason plans are nearly ready to unfold.
What goes on at the NFL Scouting Combine? Is it televised? What drills are prospects asked to do? The Athletic looks at all those questions and more ahead of the annual event.
