La prochaine étape nous conduisant vers la draft 2022 est arrivée. Après un an de pause à cause de la pandémie, le traditionnel Combine fait son retour à Indianapolis, non sans quelques aménagements au programme.
Pour cette édition, 324 joueurs ont été sélectionnés par le comité d’organisation pour participer aux tests médicaux, séries d’entretiens et ateliers sur le terrain afin de démontrer leurs capacités. 106 programmes universitaires sont représentés, allant des champions nationaux Georgia au Culver-Stockton College, une école NAIA (privé). Parmi eux, Georgia (14), Alabama (11), Oklahoma (11), et LSU (9) enverront le plus d’athlètes sur place. Sans surprise, la conférence SEC est la plus en vue avec 82 participants, suivie de la Big Ten (54) et Pac-12 (36). La Sun Belt, de son côté, ferme la marche (6). 21 joueurs issus du championnat FCS seront également de la partie.
