NFL Pro Day Schedule 2026 Full LIst of Dates

The NFL's predraft process is in full swing. The 2026 draft is less than two months away, and the annual scouting combine will get underway on Thursday.

While 319 of the nation's top prospects were invited to this year's scouting combine, many of them will opt out of workouts and drills in Indianapolis. Most will still participate in interviews and medical evaluations but will wait until their respective pro days to show off their skills.

Pro days, of course, allow NFL hopefuls to operate in a more familiar and controlled environment. While pro day workouts must be taken with a dash of salt, they remain an important piece of the predraft process.

Here's a look at this year's known pro day dates and some of the latest predraft buzz.

Fernando Mendoza Will Throw at Indiana's Pro Day

Fernando Mendoza

Indiana's Fernando Mendoza is widely expected to be taken by the Las Vegas Raiders with the first overall pick in April. He's the top quarterback on the Bleacher Report Scouting Department's big board and is widely considered the only surefire first-round quarterback in the 2026 class.

Unsurprisingly, Mendoza doesn't plan to throw at the scouting combine. Top quarterbacks rarely have in recent years, as the risk of a subpar performance is far greater than the potential reward.

However, the reigning Heisman winner and national champion will throw at Indiana's pro day, in part, to help showcase his fellow Hoosiers.

"I want to make sure that I give my guys the best chance, so I want to throw at pro day with my guys, with my running backs and be there with the boys," Mendoza told The Pat McAfee Show (h/t The Athletic's Jayna Bardahl).

While Mendoza may not have much to gain at his pro day, he'll give fans and NFL teams another look at draft prospects like Omar Cooper Jr. and Elijah Sarratt. Raiders fans are also likely to get one last look at their quarterback of the future.

Raiders general manager John Spytek told reporters in Indianapolis that he's "always listening" to trade offers, but it'll be a major surprise if Las Vegas passes on the chance to draft Mendoza.

Arvell Reese Can Gain Ground at Combine, Pro Day

Arvell Reese

Ohio State defensive standout Arvell Reese is going to be a highly-drafted prospect in April. The sixth-ranked player on the B/R board, Reese carries questions about his NFL role but has an undeniably high ceiling.

"Whether he falls into a hybrid role or converts to being a full-time edge defender, the former Buckeye has a bright future as an impact defender in the NFL," Matt Holder of the B/R Scouting Department wrote.

Reese recently told reporters that he believes he can improve as a sack artist.

"Teams have pretty much been asking me what I want to do and see where my mind was at. I've been telling them I think I'm an outside linebacker/edge," Reese said, per ESPN's Mike Reiss. "I haven't even scratched the surface with really what I can do pass rushing."

If Reese can use the combine and Ohio State's pro day to solidify himself as the top edge-rusher in this draft class, he could go as high as second overall to the New York Jets. Currently, Miami's Rueben Bain Jr. is the top edge-rusher and second-ranked prospect on the B/R board.

Fans who tune into Ohio State's pro day on March 25 should also get to see top prospects like safety Caleb Downs, receiver Carnell Tate, and linebacker Sonny Styles.
