Indianapolis booked the NFL Scouting Combine through 2026 in an agreement with the league, extending a partnership that dates to 1987 -- the year Miami Hurricanes quarterback Vinny Testaverde went No. 1 overall. The combine hosts more than 300 college football players over multiple days in late February for medical testing and evaluation, physical measurements, timing and strength testing, and on-field workouts at Lucas Oil Stadium as a collective central peg in the scouting process for pro prospects. CBS Sports reported the extension of the deal on Thursday, which the NFL confirmed in a statement. "Indianapolis and the NFL Combine have a proud history together, so we're thrilled to continue our longstanding partnership with Visit Indy, the Indianapolis Colts, and the local community for this 2026 event," NFL executive vice president Peter O'Reilly said in a statement to CBS Sports.
