Now that the National Championship game is finished, a number of important games will take place featuring college players, with perhaps the most notable being the Reese’s Senior Bowl scheduled on Australia Day - 26 January.
The NFL combine is scheduled from 24 February to 2 March, in Indianapolis, as usual.
The annual NFL Player Selection Meeting, more commonly known as the NFL Draft, will take place 23-25 April in Paradise, Nevada — just a stone’s throw (almost literally) from Las Vegas.
The draft involves the selection of 256 young men whose rights to play professional football in the NFL will be assigned to the 32 teams during these three days in the desert.
