The 2024 NFL Combine is underway, and like every year, there’s a tad bit of controversy over which NFL Draft prospects are participating. For many prospects, this is another opportunity to raise their stock and showcase their talent. But for others, there’s risk involved. Maybe they believe their stock is already high enough and the combine only presents a risk to get injured. Maybe they’d prefer to spend their time training for more football-relevant drills. Maybe they just want the more controlled environment of a pro day.
Regardless, there are endless debates every year about whether a prospect is making the right choice by sitting out of the NFL Combine.
