The NFL Scouting Combine allows hopeful athletes to show off their skills to NFL teams looking for new players.
Zach Bundy / WFYIHundreds of college football players descended on Indianapolis this week for the NFL Scouting Combine.
The city has hosted the combine for 38 years in a row. The event allows hopeful athletes to show off their skills to NFL teams looking for new players. That process is open for fans to spectate.
Outside of Lucas Oil Stadium is the NFL Combine Experience, which lets attendees try some of the same tests of agility and precision.
Chas Sampson, who is working to become an NFL agent, took a crack at the tests on Thursday.
"To see the kids involved with it, them being happy,” said Sampson, “that's what it’s all about. It's about the kids, man. And so seeing the kids happy, seeing the parents working together, and seeing them all have fun, and [to] see a small glimpse of what these guys are doing."
The NFL Scouting Combine is free and runs until Sunday.
