With the 2026 NFL combine concluding over the weekend, draft prospects will now turn their attention to their top-30 visits and pro days.

The majority of schools will host a pro day, allowing scouts and teams to come visit and see their top players. Pro days are particularly important for players who were not invited to the combine or prefer to take part in drills at their school instead of the combine.

The most notable player that didn’t work out at the combine was Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the presumptive No. 1 pick. Mendoza instead plans to throw at Indiana’s pro day, which will make it a must-see event.

Here’s a look at when Mendoza’s pro day is, and when other schools are scheduled to hold their respective pro days this year.

When is Fernando Menodza’s pro day?

Fernando Mendoza will participate in Indiana’s pro day on April 1. Mendoza opted not to throw at the combine so he could throw to his teammates and give them the “best chance.”
