We have only been without football for a little more than a week, but it seems like we're already in the heart of the offseason. The NFL combine is next week, and after that pro days will be held around the country. Add in free agency, potential draft pick visits and the actual NFL Draft in April and football fans have plenty to keep them occupied for the next couple of months.
Once the combine does wrap up and we move on to pro days, scouts will be busy checking out players from around the country at their colleges. Where will they be headed and when? The NFL announced the 2012 pro day schedule last weekend, and you can check it out after the jump (via SB Nation).
