Hundreds of prospective NFL Draft prospects will soon showcase their skill sets in front of scouts and coaches at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis as part of the NFL Scouting Combine. 93 college football programs were represented among the 321 draft prospects invited to take part in the annual scouting event. Being different from the others is essential, especially for players hoping to raise their profile before the 2024 NFL Draft in April, when the majority of the best players will be present.
The Combine frequently affects the position at which a specific player is chosen in the draft because it puts participants through a demanding schedule of meetings, drills, and measurements. This year is no different, with mock draft forecasts continuing to tilt in favor of prospective early- and late-round talents.
Participants at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine will be players in their position groups, and it will take place from February 26 to March 4.

- Ahead of the Combine, Kansas edge rusher Austin Booker is beginning to garner notice as a possible riser on NFL Draft lists. Booker attended Minnesota for his first two years of college before transferring to Kansas, where he recorded 56 total stops, two forced fumbles, a pass breakup, and led the Jayhawks in tackles for loss (12) and sacks (8). The 6-foot-6, 245-pound edge rusher, who had only appeared in six games before moving to Kansas, was a redshirt sophomore in 2023. Booker is projected by college football analyst Blake Brockermeyer to be selected in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
- The 2024 NFL Draft class is full with quality wide receivers, thus there will be fierce competition for position on the big boards. In 2023, as a fifth-year senior, Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall had his best year as a collegiate player, catching 65 passes for 965 yards, both career highs. For the Gators, he also caught four touchdown passes. Pearsall has the chance to build on his impressive performance during Senior Bowl week in Mobile, Alabama, by competing against other elite receiving prospects at the NFL Combine in early March.
