The combine is staying put in Indianapolis.The 2023 and 2024 NFL Scouting Combines will be in the Indiana state capital, the league announced Tuesday during the Spring League Meeting in Atlanta."After close review by our internal team, the Fan Engagement  Max Pacioretty Men Jersey and Major Events Advisory Committee, and the National Invitational Camp staff, Indianapolis remains the best city to host and grow the NFL Combine in 2023 and 2024," said Peter O'Reilly, NFL executive vice president of club busine s and league events. "Indy's vision brings together its long legacy of succe sfully hosting the Combine and executing the evaluation proce s, with an exciting focus on innovating and further growing the event from a fan and media  Marc-Andre Fleury Jersey perspective."Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Commi sioner Roger Goodell said the decision to keep the combine in Indy was a nod to how well the city has handled hosting the event along.

"Also, that they've done a terrific job on it. I think people are comfortable with that opportunity, because we've done it for so long. And we're also really focused on how do we improve the medical evaluations of athletes is probably our primary focus right now and making sure that we do that is effectively po sible for, obviously all the clubs, but probably more importantly the players themselves."Rumblings of  Mikhail Grabovski Kids Jersey the combine moving locations have persisted for much of the last year, so much that it became a common topic of discu sion in and around the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine during the week in Indianapolis.

"We'll see where it ends up in the future, but I'd be hard-pre sed to find another city that does it any better."Indianapolis began hosting the combine in 1987 at what was then known as the Hoosier Dome before shifting to Lucas Oil Stadium in 2009. The city has continued to do so every year since then, save for the 2021 combine, which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic."Indy is a city built to host major sporting events, and I'm William Carrier Women Jersey  proud the Combine will continue to stay in our city," said Colts owner Jim Irsay upon Tuesday's announcement.The 2022 combine marked the return of the event, but with rumors of the league considering holding it elsewhere in future years -- much  Tomas Hyka Men Jersey like the NFL Draft has become a traveling show -- the uncertainty could not be avoided during the week spent in Indianapolis.

"We are proud so many media, agents, scouts, coaches, and athletes organically called to keep the event here. And after more than three decades of hosting the Combine, our excitement has only grown when it comes to continuing our work with the NFL and the National Invitational Camp to make the event better every year for all those stakeholders as well as the growing number of fans who want to experience it in person."
