Alton, Mo. – The National Football League is hosting the NFL Scouting Combine from Sunday, February 23, 2020, to Monday, March 2, 2020, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
History of the NFL Combine
The Combine is a nine-day event with activities including measurements, interviews, and workouts. The NFL Scouting Combine, formerly know as the National Invitational Camp, first started 1982. The Combine was held in different cities at the beginning. But now it is officially held every year in Indianapolis, Indiana, since 1987. College football players can only be in the Combine if they’ve been invited by the NFL.
The Combine helps the players to take the next step in the football world, which is the NFL. The players will be doing multiple tests, both mentally and physically, in front of coaches and general managers from the different 32 NFL teams. The Combine gives the NFL teams some ideas of who to pick in the upcoming NFL Draft in April.
