Pro days could look a bit different for the Big 12 Conference’s 14 teams in 2024.
According to a report from Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports, the conference will have all 14 teams represented at a pro day event in Frisco, Texas, at the Dallas Cowboys practice facilities.
What Dodd Says…
The Big 12 will be partnering with the NFL to hold its own conference-wide pro day next year ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft, CBS Sports has learned. The event will be held at the Dallas Cowboys training facility in Frisco, Texas.
The Big 12 pro day is believed to be the first of its kind: a comprehensive event where NFL evaluators can observe the top players from a major-college conference in a single location. That is the Ford Center, a 510,000 square foot indoor athletic facility within the Cowboys’ complex known as The Star in Frisco.
This will likely have a similar feel to the NFL combine but not every draft-eligible player gets an invite. This will give other players the opportunity to impress NFL scouts and front office personnel.
“The Big 12 unified approach will provide world-class maximum exposure, mentorship and development opportunities for potential future prospects,” Troy Vincent, NFL executive vice president of football operations said.
“From state-of-the-art medical and talent evaluations to maximized media exposure and classroom professional development, these future leaders will experience a dignified, respectful and comprehensive assessment.”
This event will be closed to the public but as Dodd reports, there will be a Big 12 Fan Fest held outside the event. While the day remains to be determined, it will be aired on the NFL Network.
