The 2016 NFL Combine gets underway Tuesday morning with the arrival of the first three groups of players. Running backs, offensive linemen, and specialists travel to Indianapolis on Tuesday. They will be followed by quarterbacks, wide receivers, and tight ends on Wednesday, defensive linemen and linebackers on Thursday, and defensive backs on Friday.
As each group arrives, they will go through the same schedule of events over the course of four days. The first day involves registration, pre-examination and x-rays, and orientation. Day two features measurements, medical examinations, and press conferences with the media. Day three includes their meeting with the players' union, the Wonderlic, and the bench press. Those first three days also include interviews with teams. The final day features the on-field workout, which includes the 40 and other individual measurements, and then also the various skill work for each position
Later this week, Jake and Greg will be back with a look at some of the many prospects to watch during the Combine. There is plenty going on the first three days, but Jake and Greg will have details for each group on the day they reach their on-field workouts. The first one will be this Friday.
