While the Senior Bowl gives fans, scouts, and general managers their first look at some of the top prospects of the upcoming class, the offseason really begins with the NFL Scouting Combine.
More than 300 draft hopefuls will be descending upon Indianapolis this week to be weighed, measured, timed, interviewed, and evaluated by all 32 NFL teams.
The first arrivals are already there after defensive linemen and linebackers got into Indianapolis on Sunday. Defensive backs and special teamers will arrive Monday:

While the main attraction of the NFL Scouting Combine is the opportunity to see the draft prospects participate in drills that range from the 40-yard dash to the broad jump, it’s also the last time many coaches and decision-makers will speak to the media before free agency.
Most will speak on Tuesday — including Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke and head coach Doug Pederson — with a few set to speak Wednesday.

After the combine, most draft prospects will participate in collegiate pro days at their respective campuses.
