Many top prospects passed on working out at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, opting instead for the more controlled environments of their respective school’s pro days. With the Combine wrapping up, the focus shifts to the final evaluation window before the draft kicks off in Pittsburgh on April 23.
Draft stocks are often cemented during these sessions. Just as in years past, players like Fernando Mendoza and Reuben Bain Jr. are looking to use their home-field advantage to verify their status as the premier talents of the class.
Here’s the full pro day schedules at college campuses.

How to watch NFL Pro Days
Watching NFL Pro Days in 2026 is a bit different than the Combine, as there is rarely one single continuous broadcast. Instead, coverage is spread across dedicated draft shows, team-specific social media, and streaming platforms.

Biggest Storylines to Watch
1. Is Fernando Mendoza the slam dunk No. 1 Pick?
While many top prospects skipped the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza opted to let his Heisman-winning tape do the talking. The Raiders, currently holding the first overall selection, are searching for a franchise cornerstone, and Mendoza’s 41-touchdown season has him positioned as the unanimous QB1.
His April 1 Pro Day in Bloomington is the most anticipated event of the spring; scouts want to see if his elite anticipation and red-zone efficiency translate to a scripted NFL workout. Behind him, the gap is widening, with Alabama’s Ty Simpson and Arkansas’ Taylen Green competing to be the second passer off the board.
2. The Battle for No. 2 pick
With Mendoza projected to go first, the New York Jets face a dilemma at No. 2. The debate centers on defensive “blue chips” with historic athletic profiles. Competing for that spot are Miami’s Rueben Bain Jr., an explosive power rusher, and Ohio State’s Arvell Reese, who tied teammate Sonny Styles with a 4.46 40-yard dash. Texas Tech’s David Bailey is also in the mix after a dominant 2025 season. Their respective Pro Days will be the final tie-breakers for teams deciding between a lockdown hybrid defender or a dominant pocket-collapser.
3. Where will Jeremiyah Love be selected?
Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love enters the pro day circuit as the undisputed RB1 of the class after a 21-touchdown campaign. While his tape shows elite lateral quickness and receiving upside, scouts want to see him verify his long speed in a controlled environment.
If Love can post a sub-4.40 40-yard dash and show fluid hands in position drills during his March workout, he could cement himself as a top-10 or mid-first-round pick for teams like the Saints or Cowboys. For a league obsessed with versatile playmakers, Love is the ultimate chess piece.
