In recent years, more NFL draft prospects have opted against performing drills and/or athletic tests at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis
. Instead, they save that for their college Pro Day.
Pro Days are when colleges showcase their best players who are entering the upcoming NFL draft. It's a chance for teams to see these prospects in-person once again in an environment they're comfortable in.

Quarterbacks will typically opt to go through throwing drills at their college's Pro Day rather than the NFL Combine. That was the case last year for No. 1 pick Cam Ward
and Miami (FL) and the case for likely No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza and Indiana
this year.
He's not the only one worth checking in on this spring, though. There are hundreds of future NFL players who will be showing out for one last time with their longtime college teammates.
Here's a full look at the 2026 Pro Day schedule:
