The pre-draft process for the 2025 NFL Draft continues, with the NFL Scouting Combine taking place in its home in Indianapolis this week.
Following the college All-Star games, teams have spent the last several weeks creating a preliminary draft board in scouting meetings. With all the on-field exposures banked from the college football season to events like the Senior and Shrine Bowls, no more actual football is left to be played. Now, it's about information-gathering events like the combine. The on-field drills, such as the 40-yard dash, have diminished in importance due to in-game tracking data advancements, but weigh-ins, medical checks, and interviews are critical.
