For all intents and purposes, the 2021 NFL Scouting Combine has been cancelled for this year.
Typically, the annual event is hosted inside of Lucas Oil Stadium – home of the Indianapolis Colts -to get a better gauge on the physical abilities of NFL Draft prospects. But that will not be the case after the NFL weighed its options on the event recently.
The NFL just informed clubs the 2021 scouting combine officially is changing formats, per source.
No in-person workouts (pro days on campus instead), all virtual interviews and psychological testing, limited in-person medical exams (likely in early April) … a whole new world.
