NFL Pro Day Schedule 2024: Full List of Dates
The 2024 NFL draft is less than two months away, and the league's 32 teams are hard at work evaluating top prospects and assembling their boards for the event.
Those efforts will ramp up this weekend, with the NFL Scouting Combine set to take place in Indianapolis from Thursday-Sunday.
While the combine is a useful event for NFL scouts and executives, there will be more opportunities to watch players between then and the draft, which is set for April 25-27 in Detroit. There will also be college pro days taking place over the next two months.
In recent years, many top draft prospects have opted not to work out at the combine and instead wait for their college's pro day. That will again be the case this year.
Here's the schedule for known pro days that are coming up, followed by more to know about some of these events.

Top QBs Waiting to Throw Until Pro Days
2 of 3
The first three picks of the 2024 NFL draft could all be quarterbacks.
The Chicago Bears, Washington Commanders and New England Patriots may all be in the market for a signal-caller, and there's a talented trio coming up in USC's Caleb Williams, North Carolina's Drake Maye and LSU's Jayden Daniels.
Teams will surely be interested to see these top three quarterbacks throw the football. However, that isn't going to happen this weekend.
According to Chris Burke and Dane Brugler of The Athletic, none of the three will be participating in throwing drills at the combine. Instead, they'll likely throw at their respective college pro days.
USC's pro day is scheduled for March 20, and LSU's event is set for March 27. North Carolina has not yet announced the date for its pro day.
There's a good chance Williams will be the first player taken in the draft, whether he goes to Chicago or not. If the Bears opt to stick with Justin Fields at QB, they could trade down and send the top pick to a team in the market for a quarterback. At that point, Williams would still be the front-runner to go No. 1.
It will be interesting to see whether Maye or Daniels is the second QB off the board. They both have a lot of talent, but they possess different skill sets.
Of course, the way these quarterbacks perform at their pro days could impact their draft stock and change the order they're likely to get selected.
Big 12 Holding First Conference-Wide Pro Day
3 of 3
A new type of pro day event will be taking place from March 27-30 in Frisco, Texas.
The NFL has partnered with the Big 12 to launch a conference-wide pro day that will actually occur over a span of four days. Quarterbacks, wide receivers, tight ends, running backs and defensive backs from the Big 12 will participate on March 27 and 28, followed by offensive linemen, defensive linemen, linebackers and specialists on March 29 and 30.
The event is being held at Ford Center at The Star, the headquarters and practice facility of the Dallas Cowboys.
"The first-of-its-kind Big 12 Pro Day will provide our student-athletes an opportunity to showcase their talent and skill as they turn their NFL dreams into reality," Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark said in a statement upon last year's announcement.
Among the top draft prospects coming out of the Big 12 are Texas defensive tackle Byron Murphy II, Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa, Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy and others. Some of them could be participants at the inaugural conference pro day.
Because so many players will be at this event, it will almost be like a mini-combine. Perhaps there will be more of them in the future. Regardless, it will be intriguing to see so many talented prospects all in one spot only a month ahead of this year's draft.
