Now that you’ve created your Avatar, it’s time to show them what you’ve got at the NFL Combine. At the NFL Combine, your player can showcase their skills in a series of mini-games and drills, including bench presses, broad jumping, and the 40-yard dash. Here’s how the NFL Combine works.
Your performance in each drill will increase or decrease your position in the draft.
Each drill has a range of expected results based on the position and Archetype you chose when creating your Avatar.
After the Combine drills, you can take part in an optional Combine Interview where you’ll answer timed, football-themed trivia questions. The more questions you answer correctly, the higher you can rise on draft boards.
When you finish the Combine, the next stop is the NFL Draft.
Your NFL draft position will depend on your overall performance in the Combine.
The team you’re drafted to depends on your NFL Combine performance and the needs of that team.
If you want to play for a specific team, you can choose to skip the draft process during The League's initial set-up steps.
Once drafted, you’ll start your career as a rookie.
You’ll start as a rookie, but the aim of Superstar is to work your way up the professional football ladder, win championships, and eventually achieve Legendary status.
