'I've Never Not Been All-in' Bengals' Duke Tobin Speaks at NFL Combine

Prospects undergo drills, medical checks, and interviews to enhance draft stock before the 2026 NFL Draft and free agency, with notable quarterback evaluations underway.

  • On Feb. 23, the NFL opened the 2026 Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, inviting 319 draft prospects and hosting 32 NFL teams through March 2.
  • Medical checks at the Combine are being used for team medicals, agent meetings, and planning pro days and 30 team visits ahead of free agency opening March 11.
  • Analysts say the biggest question is which quarterback besides Fernando Mendoza can stand out, highlighting Garrett Nussmeier, LSU, and Carson Beck, Miami, as top challengers while Ty Simpson, Alabama, remains a QB2 candidate.
  • Brandon Beane and Joe Brady will use the Combine for meetings, with findings informing roster moves as the Buffalo Bills sit about $10 million over the salary cap.
  • Looking toward April, the Combine positions programs like Texas A&M, with 13 invitees, for multiple Day 1 and Day 2 selections in the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh.
