    I would guess quite a few because it is 150 plyers represented by 13 different agencies.

    The NFL will cave. As the article points out, they just held an unvaccinated, unmasked Super Bowl in Cali.
    Half the players don't compete, the NFL loses a crapload of money.

    When is the last time the NFL chose common sense over political correctness? I agree they always take money over any other factor.

    I hope they get this thing settled, after last year there was no combine, I'm looking forward to watching it this year.

    The NFL has already caved saying that the Covid restrictions were merely "recommendations" and not to be considered mandatory.

    I agree, I am having football withdrawal. I don't watch any other sport and being retired I spend my days watching old westerns on the INSP channel.

    It's shown as starting today on the combine website so I dunno

    This February, over three hundred of the very best college football players will be invited to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine (National Invitational Camp) in Indianapolis, Indiana. Top Executives, Coaching Staffs, Player Personnel Departments and Medical Personnel from all 32 NFL teams will be on hand to evaluate the nation’s top college football players eligible for the upcoming NFL Draft. This intense, four-day job interview is an exciting time for the athletes and a vital step in achieving their dreams of playing in the NFL.



    The NFL Scouting Combine will be held February 28 – March 7, 2022.

    The Super Bowl was played a week later than usual, they pushed the combine back a week.

    Would have sworn they said Tuesday on the bottom of NFL network, but I could be wrong.

    That's just them doing a show from the combine early this week, the on-field workouts don't start until Thursday at 4:00PM EST.
