No, there won’t be a traditional NFL Scouting Combine in 2021, but players will still get the opportunity to improve their stock before the draft begins next month. And, yes, the league is still technically sending out combine invitations.

Instead of a traditional combine, schools will use their pro day for aspiring NFL stars to show off their skill set in front of scouts. These days have already been in place for years, but they’ll be much more significant this year.

This week, the NFL released the complete list of players receiving an invite to the combine. Of the 323 invitations sent out, 50 of them will be going to B1G players. Only two teams will not have a representative in the combine: Maryland and Rutgers. The other 12 schools all have at least one player.

You can view when each school will be hosting its pro day here.
