There was some controversy surrounding this year's combine. Players weren't happy that the league was requiring them to "bubble up" for the event, as they won't have access to their full staff of trainers and medical personnel. The league backed down off that requirement soon after it was announced amid backlash from the players.

Some players are still choosing not to participate in the combine drills, but plenty of players in attendance will. Each prospect's performance could prove critical this year. Why? Because there isn't a clear-cut pecking order atop the 2022 NFL Draft. The race to be the top quarterback off the board is also wide-open, so the performance of the passers in attendance, including Kenny Pickett and Malik Willis, will be of particular interest.

Here's everything you need to know about the 2022 NFL Combine, including when it is, how to watch it and all of the 324 players invited to participate in it.

NFL Combine schedule 2022
The 2022 NFL Combine will, once again, be a prime-time event. The NFL made that change in 2020 to ensure they could maximize viewership for the event. Prior to 2020, all drills were held in the morning and early afternoon.

The combine will run Thursday through Sunday with position groups working out in prime time each day. NFL Network, the exclusive home of the combine, will show seven hours of drills each of the first three days and five hours of drills on Sunday. Rich Eisen and Daniel Jeremiah will serve as the primary voices for the event with various other NFL Network guests filling in each day.

Below is the complete TV schedule for on-field workouts and drills at the 2022 NFL Combine.

NFL Combine 2022 invites
The NFL has invited 324 players to participate in the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine. The invitees are decided by the combine's "Player Selection Committee," which is comprised of directors of both National and BLESTO scouting services and members of various NFL player personnel departments.

The combine's official website outlines the process for player selection: "ALL eligible players are reviewed and voted on by the committee members. Each athlete receiving the necessary number of votes, by position, is then extended an invitation. While it is not a perfect science, the goal of the committee is to invite every player that will be drafted in the ensuing NFL Draft."

NFL Combine drills
The NFL will continue to utilize seven drills across all positions. They are the 40-yard dash, bench press, vertical jump, broad jump, three-cone drill, 20-yard shuttle and 60-yard shuttle.

Eventually, the NFL may no longer include the bench press among these drills, but for the time being, it remains.

As for the position-specific drills, the NFL made some notable changes to those in 2020. The changes were aimed at making the combine more entertaining for viewers as the event moved to prime-time. The combine was not held in 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, so the NFL has had plenty of opportunities to evaluate those changes.

It appears the league will make more changes to its format in 2022. Per the AP, the league is going to eliminate the Wonderlic test and is also making changes to its positional drills to "better assess in-game player movements."

The league also plans to eliminate the Wonderlic test for prospective players, and it is revising some of its scouting combine drills to better simulate game-related movement. Wide receivers and tight ends will run crossing routes instead of wheel routes, and running backs will run option routes instead of corner and post-corner routes.
Some drills for offensive linemen and defensive players also were revised to better assess in-game player movements.
These changes won't have much of an impact on the fans watching. They'll still see players run routes and blocking drills. They are just more tailored to each position.

NFL Combine records
Below are the best numbers for the core NFL Combine events — 40-yard dash, bench press, vertical jump, broad jump, three-cone drill, 20-yard shuttle and 60-yard shuttle — since 2006, or what the league calls "recent" history.

The NFL does not keep Combine records, so these marks are unofficial.

Time: 4.22 seconds
Yeah, but: Running back Bo Jackson reportedly ran a 4.12 at the Combine in 1986. Defensive back Deion Sanders was clocked at 4.2 in 1989.
