The 2022 NFL Scouting Combine starts on March 2 with interviews, medical exams, and drills as college prospects showcase their talents ahead of the NFL Draft.
Yes, you can bet on the NFL Draft Combine. Sports betting apps in some states will have props on any of the drills like who will run the fastest 40-yard-dash or have the highest vertical leap.
But the NFL combine is filled with plenty of intrigue.
The Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a 9-8 season and first-round playoff exit. They have three picks in the first round of the NFL Draft and after some big draft busts like Jalen Reagor and JJ Arcega-Whiteside, Eagles fans developed some major Draft Day trust issues. Also, the behavior of some Eagles and other Philadelphia athletes has led some to wonder if perhaps more pre-draft sleuthing could have discovered issues. So, might we suggest the addition of a few questions.
