Happy NFL Combine week, everyone. On Tuesday, we’ll hear from San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch. They’ll speak 15 minutes apart at 12:15 and 12:30 pm PT. While many fans will be glued to the fastest 40 times, the medicals and interviews play a bigger part this week. Speaking of on the field drills, there will be 16 new ones this week at various positions. Quarterbacks will throw end zone fades with receivers and tight ends, running backs will be stepping over backs, and defensive backs will be timed in the “W” drill. Those are just a few notable changes that we’ll see this year.
The combine is held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. On Sunday, the quarterbacks, wideouts, and tight ends all arrived, registered, and went through hospital pre-exams, X-Rays, orientations, and team interviews. Here’s a look at the rest of the combine schedule.
