The 2015 NFL Scouting Combine is just about here, as the top NFL Draft prospects from around the country are arriving in Indianapolis to try and bolster their stock. If you've read a mock draft, you'll likely recognize plenty of players from the official invite list, given that just about everyone projected to go in the first couple rounds were invited.
NFL Combine 2015: Prospects converge on Indianapolis
The top NFL Draft prospects from around the nation will converge on Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine, starting on Tuesday.
This year, the event is beginning on Tuesday, Feb. 17, a day earlier than usual. The whole thing will wrap up on the following Monday, Feb. 23. Prospects will arrive in groups on four different days, with each group being a day ahead of the last on the schedule.
That schedule includes registration, X-rays and orientation on the first day, measurements, medical examinations and media on the second day, psychological testing and bench press on the third day and finally on-field workouts and positional drills on the fourth day. When the first group of players is in its second day, the next group of players will be arriving for registration and orientation, until the final group does on-field workouts on the final day of the combine.
Group one includes special teamers, offensive linemen and tight ends. Quarterbacks, wide receivers and running backs make up the second group, defensive linemen and linebackers make up the third group and finally, defensive backs comprise the fourth and final group. Defensive backs will arrive on Friday, Feb. 20. The first on-field workouts will be the same day, with the aforementioned first group taking part then.
