The NFL Combine returned last year after a COVID-19 cancellation in 2021, and the event is back in full force this year.
Hundreds of NFL Draft prospects are in Indianapolis for measurements, medical testing, interviews, and on-field drills as teams prepare to finalize their draft boards.
There are plenty of questions surrounding some of the top quarterback prospects in this draft, including Bryce Young’s size and Anthony Richardson’s arm. The combine should take teams a step closer to finding those answers.
While there are a few major factors that can affect a player’s stock leading up to the draft, fans will want to have eyes on the measurements and n-field results by the prospects. More than a few prospects have separated themselves by standing out in Indianapolis, and this year will be no different.

Word had emerged earlier in the week that Carter didn’t plan to work out in Indy and would instead wait until Georgia’s pro day on March 15 to do field drills. That remains the case, but NFL Network reported Carter will be on the field “supporting” the other defensive linemen today.
