NFL Amends Scouting Combine Bubble Protocols Following Backlash From Agents, Prospects

Following public backlash and threats of a boycott from more than 150 players agents and prospects of the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine, the NFL announced Monday it is amending its bubble protocols that it initially had in place late last week, according to NFL.com.

The NFL Scouting Combine informed all 324 invited draft prospects last Saturday in a memo that players attending the 2022 combine will be “restricted to secure Combine venues during their entire time in Indianapolis for their protection,” according to NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero, who broke the league-wide news on the policy.
