How to watch the 2022 NFL scouting combine on ESPN

The NFL scouting combine started Monday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

On-field workouts begin at 4 p.m. ET Thursday and continue for three more days and will be broadcast on NFL Network. The event concludes Monday, Mar. 7.

The combine is the best chance for some of the top college football players in the country to show off their skills to NFL general managers, coaches and scouts.

Participation is by invitation only. All 32 teams provide input on draft-eligible prospects, and a Player Selection Committee then reviews and votes on each eligible athlete. The goal is to invite every player who will be selected in the NFL draft, according to the NFL combine rulebook.

On Feb. 9, the NFL released its entire list of 324 invitees.

During the combine, players participate in various evaluations, including drills like the 40-yard dash and vertical jump, along with interviews with coaches. However, the league won't administer the Wonderlic test, a 50-question intelligence and problem-solving assessment used in previous years.

Although the NFL combine is closed to the general public, you can keep up with all of the action on ESPN.

ESPN has a variety of shows and content dedicated to the NFL scouting combine. Here's a list of programs you can watch starting Thursday to stay up to date on participants, teams and mock drafts.
