ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that the NFL’s annual scouting combine, used for teams to gather valuable information about the top prospects in the upcoming draft, is questionable for this winter, with its status expected to be decided in the next week.
After weeks of discussion, the NFL plans to decide at last whether there will be a combine this year and what form it will take.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, sources said the league has debated numerous ways to approach it: have it in a reduced form in Indianapolis in February, push it back to April, or simply just use regional combines that would eliminate the need for many of the prospects to travel to Indianapolis as they regularly have done for the past three-plus decades.
