NFL combine workouts preview for 2022 NFL draft - Biggest questions, potential risers, fastest prospects and quarterbacks to watch

The 2022 NFL combine has arrived, with the best prospects for the NFL draft in Indianapolis to go through athletic testing and on-field drills, meet with teams for in-depth interviews and get accurately measured in front of hundreds of league evaluators. It's the most important event leading up to the draft, which begins Thursday, April 28 on ESPN and ABC.

Workouts start Thursday night, with the quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends up first and participating in the 40-yard dash, vertical leap and broad jump, among other drills. The offensive line and running backs work out on Friday, the defensive linemen and linebackers follow on Saturday, and the combine ends with the defensive backs going Sunday.

Who are the most intriguing prospects in Indy? Which quarterbacks have a chance to rise this week? And who are the candidates to run the fastest 40-yard dash? We asked NFL draft analysts Mel Kiper Jr., Todd McShay, Jordan Reid and Matt Miller to answer these questions and more.

ESPN's NFL Live will originate from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on March 3, 4 and 5 at 4 p.m. ET, and there is a special Saturday afternoon program on ABC at 2 p.m. ET.

Kiper: The things I'm looking for are not necessarily about the on-field workouts. Of course, you want to see each guy be accurate against air, but the behind-the-scenes stuff is crucial at the combine. How do each of the quarterbacks interview with teams? How do they interact with each other? Really, the on-field evaluations for NFL teams are mostly set going into the combine, because they've put in the time to study and do research on each of them.
