The NFL Combine starts to make the NFL offseason start to feel real. There are several things about the event that are exciting that fans don’t get to see. Like teams actually getting to meet prospects and other teams’ front offices. However, there is plenty of stuff for fans to watch during the week.
This is the first look we will get at watching these prospects after having an opportunity to do some training after the college football season. If the recent trend continues, we likely won’t see the top prospects at the positions do much on the field. Recent trends show they have more to lose than to gain by working out here rather than just at their pro day or at all period.
That does not mean we won’t be seeing plenty of prospects get some serious workouts in and potentially rise up or down boards quickly.
The entire combine will be televised on the NFL Network and can be streamed on NFL+.

As alluded to before, this won’t be the only opportunity these players have to perform in front of teams. There will be pro days at universities, and teams will have players visit and go through workouts. While some of the excitement is lost with top players doing little more than checking out medically and with teams, it is still a good event that gives plenty of players looking to get drafted or move up a great opportunity to do so.
