2022 NFL Combine: Day 1 Updates

The 2022 NFL Combine workouts are set to begin on Thursday afternoon.

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell have the opportunity to scout potential draft prospects that can be added to the roster.

But the evaluation process will not stop at the Combine.

NFL teams are afforded the opportunity to interview players on Zoom up until the draft.

New policies that have been put into place in the last 24 months have given front offices several other methods to evaluate potential draft prospects.

"I do think the virtual world, it has allowed us to learn how to be a lot more efficient in a lot of areas. You guys have heard me talk at length, I’m a big proponent of using the technology as the accelerator that it is," Holmes said. "So there was not really many complaints from our end (about the virtual combine last year). We just kind of maximized the resources that we had available to us at that time."

Follow along with SI All Lions all throughout the Combine, as we bring you all the pertinent and relevant information you need to know this week, including measurements and all the buzz surrounding the 324 prospects invited to participate.

Chig Okonkwo can fly.

While he was aiming to run in the “4.3s”, 4.52 will MORE than suffice. pic.twitter.com/e9Buagcnuz

NFL Network just cut to Chris Spielman messing around with his phone while tight ends were running 40s. Daniel Jeremiah, without missing a beat: “See, when you have T.J. Hockenson, you can just play Wordle.”

Jelani Woods led all TEs in the bench press with 24 reps.

Now he just ran a 4.61u. Keep your eyes peeled for this @UVAFootball TE.

Wan'Dale Robinson coming in three whole inches shorter than he was listed is...not awesome.

5'8" with 27 5/8" arms is not ideal length.
