2024 NFL Scouting Combine: times, how to watch on TV, stream online
The week-long showcase will begin on Tuesday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, with over 300 prospective players participating in the 2024 NFL draft.
The NFL Scouting Combine is essential for college football players who want to become NFL professionals. At this event, over 300 of the best college football players can demonstrate their abilities to coaches, general managers, and scouts. This event is a crucial step before the NFL Draft, where players can improve their football profiles and showcase their talents to clubs and fans across the country, thereby increasing their chances of being picked up by new teams. The players’ performances at the Combine can directly affect their positions in the Draft.
During the combine, participants undergo a series of standardized tests, drills, and interviews designed to assess their athleticism, speed, strength, agility, and football IQ. Some of the key components of the NFL Combine include:
- Physical Measurements: Players are measured for height, weight, arm length, hand size, and wingspan to provide teams with accurate physical profiles.
- Bench Press: Players perform repetitions of lifting a 225-pound barbell to test upper body strength and endurance.
- 40-Yard Dash: Widely regarded as one of the most anticipated events, players sprint 40 yards from a stationary position to assess their speed and acceleration.
- Vertical Jump: Players jump vertically to measure lower body explosiveness and leg power.
- Broad Jump: Players leap horizontally to measure lower body strength and explosiveness.
- Three-Cone Drill: Players navigate a series of cones in a zigzag pattern to evaluate agility, quickness, and change of direction.
- 20-Yard Shuttle: Players shuttle back and forth over a 20-yard distance to assess lateral quickness and agility.
