That isn’t the case in 2022 as the NFL Combine is being held again. Still, the scouting process won’t be done when the combine ends Sunday. Pro days will be up next.
Their purpose is once again helping to answer questions scouts might have about prospects following the end of the combine.
Some pro days have been going on since before the NFL Combine, but others are yet to come. Sporting News looks at the pro days schedule for 2022.

How to watch NFL pro days on TV
NFL Network and ESPN will provide pro day coverage from some of the major programs, including Alabama, Cincinnati, Georgia, Michigan, Notre Dame and Ohio State.
Television and streaming information will be released closer to the date of workouts.
Biggest storylines to watch
- Matt Corral’s first workouts since his injury.
Corral injured his ankle during the Cotton Bowl, providing a sobering reminder as to why many top prospects decide to opt out of bowl games. He decided not to work out at the NFL Combine. He remains one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2022 class, and his pro day will be his chance to prove that the injury won’t hold him back.
- Malik Willis’ running ability.
Willis did everything at the 2022 NFL Combine except perhaps his signature ability: run. As the top dual-threat quarterback in the class, his 40-yard dash was much anticipated, but he decided to stick to throwing drills at the Combine. Scouts will finally get to see him run when Liberty holds its pro day.
- Who is top defensive end?
Before the offseason, Oregon’s Kayvon Thibodeaux was viewed as the consensus top overall prospect in the NFL Draft. Since the season ended, Michigan’s Aidan Hutchinson has been looked at as the favorite to go first overall. How much will change at their respective pro days?
- Can Derek Stingley Jr. re-emerge as top cornerback?
Like Corral, Stingley sat out the NFL Combine as he continued to work his way back from October foot surgery. He is considered one of the top defensive back prospects despite having played in just three games in 2021, but his stock slipped as Cincinnati’s Ahmad Gardner overtook him during the season. Stingley could participate in LSU’s pro day on April 6; it would be his chance to show how far he has come since his injury and to re-establish himself as the premier corner in the draft.
