CLEVELAND, Ohio — The entire NFL world has descended on Indianapolis for the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine.
Prospects eligible for the 2020 NFL Draft will interview with the media and all 32 teams will get their chance to meet them over the next few days. They will also be put through a workout with several different drills including the 40-yard dash and the bench press.
Quarterbacks, tight ends and wide receivers have already had their measurements taken and have started team interviews. But there is much more on their schedule.
WHAT’S NEW
This year’s combine will look a little different than previous ones. For example, the on-field workouts will now be televised in prime time.
The NFL Network will air the workouts from Lucas Oil Stadium on Thursday-Saturday will air from 4-11 p.m., and on Sunday from 2-7 p.m.
In addition to the evening workouts, there is also a change to the amount of players teams can interview. Instead of having 60 with prospects, teams will only be able to talk to 45 prospects. But instead of only getting 15 minutes with the players, the interviews will now last 18 minutes.
The on-field workouts will also look different. There are a total of 16 new drills spread out across all the position groups. Read what NFL.com had to say about how those drills will work.
