As the Houston Texans prepare to better their roster, everything starts out in Indianapolis.
The top prospects in the 2025 NFL draft are at the scouting combine this week, where they will not only meet with teams across the league, but also show off their athleticism and skill sets during on-field workouts.
While this isn’t the final step, it’s an important one in the pre-draft process, giving teams a good look at players they could wind up drafting in April. And with multiple players opting out of workouts to prepare for their Pro Days, it’s a chance for more names to shoot up draft boards and better their stock.
From the 40-yard dash to the bench press to positional drills, players will be on the field throughout the next four days. Events begin on Thursday with the defensive linemen and linebackers, with the combine wrapping up on Sunday when the offensive linemen closing out their workouts.
The combine will be broadcast live daily from Lucas Oil Stadium on NFL Network and NFL+ from Thursday to Sunday. Coverage of player workouts starts at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday and Friday, and 1 p.m. ET on Saturday and Sunday.
