The 2011 NFL Scouting Combine begins later this week in Indianapolis. Following games like the Senior Bowl and East-West Shrine Game and preceding pro days, the combine is a big gathering of almost all of the players that will end up being drafted in April. Over the course of nearly a week, players will check in, go through a variety of tests, interviews, measurements and drills. Luckily for us, NFL Network will have extensive coverage of the entire event.

For those of you looking to keep track of the 2011 NFL Combine schedule, I've put together a rundown of all the different activities taking place on each day (via NFLCombine.net). The event begins on Wednesday, although the first workouts won't happen until later in the week. Things will wrap up next Tuesday, and shortly after, pro days across the country will get started.
