The NFL Combine is typically a huge week for college players who want to establish a mark for themselves. The yearly ritual includes various strenuous drills and routines, which ultimately lead to the selection of the NFL aspirants. Bench press, 40-yard dash, cone drills, vertical jumps, and broad leaps are among the exercises.

The NFL committee is currently looking for a new venue to host the combine, and a couple of cities have submitted offers. Although, it is unknown if future combines will be in Indy or shift to a different location.

Probable Venues to host the NFL Combine

The city of Indianapolis has held the NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium since 1987. Even though Indy has also kept a bid to keep hosting the event, the NFL is yet to decide whether or not to relocate it. The NFL Scouting Combine has agreed to a five-year contract to stay in Indianapolis until at least 2020; marking the first time it has not operated on a year-to-year basis.

The contract for the combine to be held in Indianapolis will expire after the 2022 event, according to Adam Schefter. Los Angeles, Dallas, and Indianapolis have all submitted bids to host the 2023 event.
