Where is the NFL combine?
The 2023 NFL combine will take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, home of the Indianapolis Colts. The event has been held in Indianapolis since 1987 and will be in Indy next year as well, but the league has said it’s possible it’ll move between 2025 and 2028.

How will Bryce Young measure in?
Ahhh another quarterback measurement storyline. A huge one, really. It harkens back to the 2019 combine, when rumors swirled about how little Kyler Murray might be, and if it would impact his rise up draft boards to potentially landing as the No. 1 overall pick. Murray was a shade over 5-feet-10 and 207 pounds, and he went No. 1 overall less than two months later.
This time, with Young, it feels a little different. Because not only is he expected to be under 6-feet, he may very well be under 200 pounds too, something extraordinarily rare for a quarterback prospect, and never before seen for an elite-level prospect who’s the favorite to be the first pick in the whole draft.
If he’s, say, 5-10 or 5-11 and 195 to 200 pounds, that’ll be a win for him. If he’s under those figures, look out. The consensus quarterback pecking order will get murky.
