The NFL announced the 319 NFL hopefuls that will participate in the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine next week in Indianapolis.
The combine takes place from Feb. 23 - March 2, with on-field workouts occurring Feb. 26 - March 1. The annual event also features player interviews with team personnel, media sessions and further testing of some of the nation's top collegiate prospects.
Of the 319 prospects, 166 are on offense, 146 are on defense and seven are specialists. Texas A&M, which produced Bengals' 2025 first-round pick EDGE Shemar Stewart, has the most players invited to the Combine of any school (13). The Southeastern Conference leads the way in conference participants with 115 players invited, following by the Big Ten (83).
The Bengals currently hold the 10th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and have eight total selections. The Combine is one of the first chances teams get to see players up close and personal as they build out their draft boards for April.
Multiple players who have been fixtures in early Mock Drafts for Cincinnati are scheduled to participate in the Combine, including Ohio State S Caleb Downs, Clemson DT Peter Woods, Miami EDGE Rueben Bain Jr. and Texas Tech EDGE David Bailey.
