The NFL has announced that ten regional scouting combines will be held in 2013. The combines begin with one on Jan. 24th in Honolulu, Hawaii. The final one takes place on April 8 and will be held in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Unlike the National Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, these regional events are open to any college player, or former pro player, and who are looking to be noticed by talent evaluators. One important stipulation is that those who are attending the February combine in Indianapolis will not be able to attend these regional events.
In a press release, NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Ray Anderson said:
"The NFL Regional Combines program provides players - who may not have had the chance before - the opportunity to work out for NFL personnel executives, it allows all 32 clubs a chance to further evaluate future prospects."
