2026 NFL Draft Prospect Visits Tracker
The 2026 NFL Draft is fast approaching, with the event scheduled to occur on Thursday, April 23. As teams prepare for this significant occasion, we will monitor all pre-draft interactions between prospects and NFL franchises. This includes a comprehensive tracking of visits and meetings that could impact draft decisions.
2026 NFL Draft Visit Tracker
Throughout the pre-draft process, NFL teams engage with eligible players at various events. These interactions take place during all-star games, such as the Senior Bowl and Shrine Bowl, as well as at the NFL Scouting Combine and college pro days. Additionally, virtual meetings via platforms like Zoom have become the norm since the 2020 pandemic.
Scouting Combine and Private Visits
The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine is slated to run from Monday, February 23, to Monday, March 2. During this period, teams have the opportunity to meet with any invited player. However, they are allocated 45 formal interviews, making it a crucial event for potential draftees.
- Teams can host up to 30 draft prospects for interviews and medical evaluations at their facilities.
- Local players do not count towards this limit, enabling teams to maximize their evaluation processes.
- These are often termed “top 30 visits,” although the players may not always reflect the team’s top priorities.
While not all interactions are publicly reported, teams typically engage with numerous players they consider worthy of being drafted or signing as undrafted free agents (UDFAs). This adds an interesting layer to the draft preparation.
