Many football enthusiasts are already looking forward to the NFL Combine. With the 2022-23 season over, the focus shifts to the April 2023 NFL Draft. Even though we've seen a ton of college football to get a look at these prospects, one of the most significant activities in the draft process is the NFL Combine.
The 2023 NFL Combine will once again be held in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium. Fans will be able to attend, but scouts and front office staff will also be present to watch these prospects undergo athletic testing. They will be able to meet with them to get a sense of the kind of young players they will be. From March 2 to 5, athletic drills and testing will be shown on television.
The Combine can be a game-changing experience for some athletes, dramatically boosting their pre-draft stock. Other players suffer when important medical information is revealed or when they get lost in the event's competition.
