Buffalo Bills 2026 NFL Scouting Combine prospect meeting tracker

The Buffalo Bills are knee-deep in the the weeds of the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, putting in tons of hours at Lucas Oil Stadium to get an up-close and somewhat personal look at the prospects invited to participate in this year’s event. As is always the case at this time of the year, there’s plenty of pressing work for the Buffalo Bills to do related to the NFL Draft, and time to do so is short with just a few weeks until the draft.

While almost every player likely carries some intrigue for the Bills, Buffalo, as well every other NFL team, is only allowed to conduct 18-minute formal interviews with a maximum of 45 prospects. Despite that limit, teams are also allowed to engage with prospects via informal meetings throughout the duration of the combine.

This may be a particularly interesting year to pay close attention to the Bills’ work and efforts in this arena, given Buffalo has a new head coach for the first time in nine seasons. With general manager Brandon Beane receiving a promotion to include the title of president of football operations, will his continued presence play an expanded role in 2026 alongside first-time head coach Joe Brady?

Time will tell, but Brady has a fair bit of experience in the college ranks and has been part of Buffalo’s draft process for several seasons. Though he may no longer be the team’s official play caller, it’s still going to be his offense — but does that mean status quo, or an overhaul in receiving personnel?

The combine represents an important week for the future of football, and this year’s pool of NFL prospects no doubt hope to have left the right type of lasting impression on teams. Below, we’ll focus on players One Bills Drive spoke with formally and otherwise at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine. These interactions tell us those players who a team has at least cursory interest in, and potentially what position(s) carry the most weighted value in terms of draft priority.

This list should not be viewed as exhaustive, as there may be additional unreported interactions.
