Miami Dolphins executives, coaches and scouts will be in Indianapolis this week for the scouting combine, where they will be talking to, watching and learning all about the top prospects for the 2026 NFL draft.
The Dolphins and the other teams in attendance will begin interviewing prospects Monday evening to kick off a full week that also will include on-field workouts and media sessions involving coaches and general managers.
New Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and new head coach Jeff Hafley are scheduled to address the media at a podium at the Indianapolis Convention Center on Tuesday at 11 a.m. and 11;45 a.m. ET, respectively.
While only a small part of the scouting process, the combine will be particularly important for a team like the Dolphins, who are expected to have eight selections in the 2026 draft unless they wind up getting awarded a compensatory pick.
