The 2022 NFL combine is fast approaching. The league hammered out a few last-minute details, in preparation of the event, on Saturday afternoon.
One of the major changes the NFL is instituting this year has to do with who can accompany participating athletes at the event. This year, each participant is allowed to bring one “medical support person.” The only requirement of said individual is that person must be vaccinated.
“Players will be allowed to invite one ‘medical support person’ (e.g. a trainer) to the combine,” tweeted NFL insider Tom Pelissero. “That person must be fully vaccinated. All meals and snacks will be provided by the combine. Major precautions, to say the least.”

This is a significant change compared to prior years, but it’s not the one being discussed on Twitter right now.
The NFL also announced that prospects will be restricted to basically a “bubble-like” environment. If prospects violate any of the NFL’s rules, they’ll be dismissed from the event.
“Players who violate this policy at any time will be disqualified from further participation and sent home,” the NFL announced.
The 2022 NFL combine is set to commence on Tuesday, Mar. 1. It’ll give scouts an up-close look at some of the best prospects in this year’s class.
