When does the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine start?
The 2024 combine officially begins Tuesday, Feb 27th, from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Coverage on NFL Network begins with NFL rookie Showcases, highlighting the best players from the 2024 rookie class.
Who is participating in the NFL Combine?
The main attraction this year is the quarterbacks, with Caleb Williams (University of Southern California) projected to be the No. 1 pick in this yearâs draft. Other prospects like Drake Maye (University of Kentucky), Jayden Daniels (Lousiana State University) and Michael Penix Jr. (University of Washington) will also be in Indy for the week.
However, both Williams and Daniels will not participate in any drills at the combine, opting for their respective pro days instead. That leaves Maye, Penix and other gunslingers the chance to impress this week.
Other highly-regarded prospects set to participate are offensive linemen Joe Alt (University of Notre Dame) and Olumuyiwa Fashanu (Pennsylvania State University), and pass rushers Dallas Turner (University of Alabama)Â and Laiatu Latu (University of Los Angeles). Meanwhile, wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (Ohio State University) will not be in attendance for the combine.
How can I watch the NFL Combine?
You can catch the action on NFL Network starting Thursday, Feb, 29th at 3 p.m. ET with the defensive linemen and linebackers. The defensive backs and tight ends take the stage on Friday, followed by the quarterbacks, wide receivers and running backs on Saturday, and the offensive linemen on Sunday.
