The NFL Scouting Combine isn’t going anywhere.
According to Luke Easterling from the Draft Wire, the scouting combine will stay in Indianapolis in 2023 and 2024 per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, who is covering the NFL owners meetings in Atlanta.
During the 2022 combine, Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio lauded Indianapolis for being a tremendous host city, and loved the way the central location provided for easy access of information.
“Indianapolis is a great host,” said Caserio. “The way it’s setup between the convention center, between the dome, the access to the medical facility and the hotel locations. I mean, everything is sort of centrally located. Logistically it’s very easy to kind of move around. I think [president and director of the National Invitational Camp] Jeff Foster has done a phenomenal job here through the years. Have a lot of respect for what he’s done in kind of developing and evolving.”
The combine staying in Indianapolis also provides a familiar setting for clubs and agents to meet a week ahead of free agency. Those logistics aren’t altered by going to a new host city.
