NFL scouting combine 2024: Key information, how to watch NFL draft prospects

The NFL's annual job interviews will take place starting Monday, Feb. 26, when the best collegiate players will be poked, prodded, and put through meetings, on-field drills and tests by the league's coaches, general managers, and scouts.

The next superstar could be in this year's batch of players as talent-deficient teams look for their future draft picks to make immediate impact, and playoff teams look to stack talent and challenge the Kansas City Chiefs for NFL supremacy.

Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis is once again the setting for the combine and will be held there for at least the next year.
