Wednesday kicked off the busiest stretch of the NFL scouting combine, the first of three straight days when every position group is represented in Indianapolis.
The focus thus far has been on defensive linemen and linebackers, who began arriving on Sunday. They’ll hit the field for measurements and workouts on Thursday before leaving town on Friday.
That cycle will continue for defensive backs and tight ends; then running backs, quarterbacks, and wideouts; and finally offensive linemen and specialists.
In between are the all-important team interviews. Teams are allowed just 45 formal interviews with prospects over the course of the week; those interviews are carefully tracked and timed not to exceed 18 minutes. They’re not the only chance a club has to speak with a player, though. Pro days, 30 visits, and private visits can also be used later in the pre-draft process.
Informal interviews are exactly that. They can happen just about anywhere, anytime, and may not amount to much more than a handshake and a quick hello. Teams can meet informally with as many players as they want at the combine.
Here’s a quick rundown of the players who have reportedly met with the Cowboys in Indianapolis. This list will be updated throughout the 2024 combine.
