The NFL is working towards finalizing a plan for the 2021 scouting combine, and it won’t look like any combine has before.
In fact, it likely won’t resemble the combine at all. Or even be centralized in Indy.
League officials—with medical people, team personnel and National Football Scouting president Jeff Foster on the line—held a call Friday to discuss again how to proceed with the run-up to the 2021 NFL draft. According to well-placed sources, the idea of having the combine in Indianapolis in any sort of traditional manner on time is dead, and the overwhelming likelihood is that the performance and medical components are split up.
