NFL Scouting Combine: 5 things you need to know

Over 300 prospects will be descending upon Indianapolis for the 2016 NFL Scouting Combine, and there are several intriguing storylines worth following.

Here are five things you need to know:

Schedule of events

Players begin arriving at Lucas Oil Stadium on Feb. 23, and spend their first day undergoing medical exams, getting measurements taken, and conducting media interviews. Teams are permitted to meet with players at any point during the week.

On-field workouts take place from Feb. 26-29 and are broken down by position group.

• Friday, Feb. 26: Running backs, offensive linemen, special teams
• Saturday, Feb. 27: Quarterbacks, wide receivers, tight ends
• Sunday, Feb. 28: Defensive linemen, linebackers
• Monday, Feb. 29: Defensive backs

Ohio State will be well represented

There will be 14 Buckeyes players participating in this year's combine, making Ohio State the most represented school. Notre Dame is next with 10 players participating, followed by Alabama with nine.

In addition to being the most represented school at the combine, Ohio State could break the record for most first-round draft picks. Miami currently holds the record with six first-round picks taken in the 2004 NFL Draft. Ohio State is projected to have as many as seven players drafted within the top 32.

Wentz vs. Goff vs. Lynch

Last year's combine was all about Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota, who went on to be drafted No. 1 and No. 2 overall, respectively. This year, there's a trio of quarterbacks vying for teams' attention.

North Dakota State's Carson Wentz, California's Jared Goff, and Memphis' Paxton Lynch are the consensus top-three quarterbacks in the 2016 draft, but there's still no clear-cut No. 1. That makes their combine performances all the more important.

Wentz garnered a lot of buzz after impressing at the Senior Bowl, with multiple observers declaring him the best quarterback of the group. He and Goff have both been projected to come off the board as high as No. 2 overall to the Cleveland Browns.

Potential freaks

The combine is full of athletically gifted individuals, but there are some whose performances go above and beyond what's expected. These are the freaks.

This year's draft class includes several potential freaks, including Baylor's Andrew Billings, a 6-foot-2, 300-pound defensive tackle and former high school powerlifter who broke a 22-year-old Texas state meet record with a 2,010-pound effort.

Ohio State defensive end and potential top-five pick Joey Bosa can do a standing backflip, and could wow in the vertical jump. UCLA linebacker Myles Jack is another freak of an athlete who once said he wanted to be the "LeBron James of football."

Instant millionaire

One prospect could walk away from the combine an instant millionaire.

Adidas has offered a $1-million prize to the player that breaks the 40-yard dash record of 4.24, which was set in 2008 by Arizona Cardinals running back Chris Johnson. There's a catch, though: the prospect must be wearing Adidas 2016 adizero 5-Star 40 cleats.

Among those to watch in the dash is Ohio State running back Braxton Miller, who said he expects to run a low 4.3.
