The next NFL Scouting Combine runs from March 1 to March 8, 2027, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, according to the NFL’s 2026-27 calendar. Free agency’s negotiating window opens the next day, March 9, and the draft follows on April 29 to May 1 in Washington, D.C.
At the last combine, in 2026, Mississippi State receiver Brenen Thompson ran the fastest 40-yard dash, an official 4.26 seconds. Xavier Worthy’s record of 4.21 still stands, and no 2027 combine props are quoted here.
What happens at the combine
Teams bring the top draft prospects to Indianapolis for medical checks, interviews, measurements and on-field testing. The events bettors see priced are the timed and measured ones: the 40-yard dash, the vertical jump, the broad jump and the bench press at 225 pounds.
Groups test on different days. In 2026 the offensive linemen worked out on the final day, a Sunday, and the receivers ran on the Saturday.
The 2026 combine leaders
These are the best marks in CBS Sports’ full list of official 2026 testing results, position by position.
| Event | Leader | Mark |
|---|---|---|
| 40-yard dash | Brenen Thompson, WR, Mississippi State | 4.26 seconds |
| Vertical jump | Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt | 45.5 inches |
| Broad jump | Ted Hurst and Eli Stowers | 11 feet 3 inches (135 inches) |
| Bench press | David Gusta | 37 reps |
Thompson’s 4.26 matched Jerome Mathis’s time from 2005 as the third-fastest by a receiver since 2003, ESPN reported, behind Worthy and John Ross, who ran 4.22 in 2017. Ohio State safety Lorenzo Styles Jr. ran 4.27 and LSU receiver Zavion Thomas ran 4.28, so three players went under 4.30.
Stowers was the only player past 45 inches in the vertical. Four more jumped 43.5: Taylen Green, Sonny Styles, Kenyon Sadiq and D’Angelo Ponds.
Betting combine props
A combine prop is a line on one of the week’s best marks, such as the fastest 40, the highest vertical or the most bench reps. The 2026 leaders above are the benchmark for 2027 lines. A 40-yard line of 4.265 would have been beaten by Thompson alone, and a vertical line of 43.25 would have been cleared by five players.
Turn each price into a chance before betting. -115 implies 53.5%, and a heavy favorite at -700 implies 87.5%.
