The event remains a hallmark of the scouting calendar, with participants grouped by position across designated days: defensive linemen and linebackers on the opening day; defensive backs and tight ends on the second; quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs on the third; and offensive linemen on the final day. The Combine also features interviews, medical evaluations, and on-field drills designed to gauge athleticism, football IQ, and competitive readiness.
Among the notable participants are a wide slate of quarterbacks, receivers, running backs, tight ends, and linemen from major programs across the country. The list includes projected top prospects at each position, reflecting the depth and variety of talent entering the 2026 draft class.
This year’s Combine is hosted in Indianapolis, a consistent site for the event since 1987, reinforcing its role as a pivotal early-stage evaluation for NFL teams ahead of the April draft. Microsoft Copilot will power the live coverage on NFL+, with additional analysis and breakdowns available for fans across connected-TV and mobile platforms.
