2022 NFL combine Thursday schedule - Quarterbacks, wide receivers, tight ends work out

INDIANAPOLIS — The on-field workouts begin Thursday at the NFL combine inside Lucas Oil Stadium ahead of the 2022 NFL draft.

NFL Network will carry live coverage of on-field drills each night starting at 4 p.m. ET. ESPN's NFL Live will originate from Indianapolis with 4 p.m. ET shows on Thursday and Friday as well as a 2 p.m. ET Saturday show on ABC.

The combine in Indianapolis is a prelude to the NFL draft in Las Vegas, April 28-30.

The workouts, 4-11 p.m. ET (NFL Network): Quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends will go through a variety of testing, including bench press, vertical jump, broad jump, 40-yard dash, as well as shuttle and position drills.

And ...: The offensive linemen and running backs will go through some of their medical exams Thursday before they go through their on-field workouts Friday. The defensive backs and kickers will also arrive in Indianapolis Thursday for the first of their four-day cycle at the event.

The record holders: Throughout the combine's history, the wide receivers have often recorded the fastest 40 times. No records are expected to fall this year, but University of Washington wide receiver John Ross, who had 11 receptions for the New York Giants this past season, ran a 4.22 40-yard dash at the 2017 combine.

At the top of the board: Liberty quarterback Malik Willis said Wednesday he isn't going to run the 40 or do the other physical testing, but he will throw Thursday. Mississippi's Matt Corral, who suffered a right ankle injury in the Jan. 2 Sugar Bowl, will not work out, and Pittsburgh's Kenny Pickett said he planned on doing everything.
