The 2025 NFL Draft starts on April 24, but before that, prospects have a chance to boost their draft stock at the NFL Scouting Combine. The best of the best, when it comes to players preparing to make it to the NFL, are put through a number of physical and mental tests that help determine how translatable their skill set is to the professional game. The Scouting Combine is the most important event during the pre-draft process, and in this article, we are going to detail everything that you need to know about it.
The Scouting Combine is a multi-day event, with the event separated by position groups. Day one is on Thursday, Feb. 27, and defensive linemen and linebackers will be tested starting at 3 p.m. ET.

The events at the NFL scouting combine are supposed to illustrate players athletic and mental traits. Athleticism is important in the NFL, so great combine measurements often highlight players who can thrive at the highest level of football. Therefore, players who test well are often drafted higher. However, it is not the end all be all, and some players simply know how to play the game of football effectively, even if they donβt test great. Most scouts prefer game tape over combine measurements.
