NFL Combine 2015: Schedule, TV Info and Live Stream for Prospect Showcase
This is where the men are separated from the boys. OK, maybe not literally, but the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine is certainly a place where futures are made or shattered for more than 300 prospects.
Scouts, executives and coaches from every NFL franchise will be in attendance, likely with a stopwatch in hand. Each team is looking for that one player who can completely reshape the future.
The Oakland Raiders might have found that last year with Derek Carr, whose stock skyrocketed after the combine. Odell Beckham Jr., on the heels of a great combine himself, was taken at No. 13 overall by the New York Giants.
But that doesn't mean every great prospect at the combine will be a home run in the NFL (see: JaMarcus Russell). Not every bust in Indianapolis will be a bust at the next level (see: Tom Brady). Every guy is different, and the combine certainly does a great job of pulling the most out of each player.
With the showcase set to begin on Wednesday afternoon, here's a look at the full viewing information and some players to watch during the combine.

Prospects to Watch
It seems a bit absurd to try to whittle the entire class of more than 300 prospects down to just a handful of players. Instead, we'll just take a look at some of the players generating the most buzz. No position in the NFL generates quite as much buzz as quarterbacks.
Unlike the last several years, the two top signal-callers are pretty much predetermined heading into the combine. Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston are either No. 1 or No. 2 in every mock draft and draft board at the quarterback position.
However, a shoulder injury earlier this offseason had some worried that Mariota might not throw in Indy. He answered any questions about that shoulder when he informed teams he would be putting his arm on display, via Chris Mortensen of ESPN:
Winston, on the other hand, is on the fence about throwing, per Mortensen. However, the former Florida State quarterback will need to impress coaches with much more than just his arm. After an up-and-down two seasons with the Seminoles, his off-the-field antics are much more concerning.
The 2013 Heisman Trophy winner has been preparing for the combine with Bryce Petty. Leading up to the showcase, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com also notes both signal-callers have been in Ann Arbor with another former NFL quarterback:
One vast improvement for Petty that should shine through at the combine is his footwork. He won't go ahead of either Winston or Mariota, but Jonathan Jones of The Charlotte Observer took note of the improvements:
Outside of the quarterbacks, running backs will be another focal point. Unlike the previous position, the tailback has been devalued over the last several years. This year, however, there's a crop that can completely change the perception.
Who's at the top of that list is a different question entirely.
After narrowly missing out on winning the Heisman, Melvin Gordon comes in looking like a possible first-round selection. As Tom Pelissero of USA Today points out, he might be one of the most exciting players to watch:
The crop this year also includes the likes of Todd Gurley, Tevin Coleman, Ameer Abdullah, Jay Ajayi and Duke Johnson. Those are just the players with a first- or second-round grade, according to CBSSports.com. Let's just say it should be a fun battle to watch throughout the combine.
