The 2012 NFL Combine in Indianapolis begins on Wednesday. The first day will see the arrival of three groups of players as they begin the process for the scouting event. For the next week, the top football players in the country will be endlessly scrutinized by NFL scouts and evaluators in preparation for the 2012 NFL Draft.

The first three groups to arrive and start the routine will consist of kickers, special teams players, offensive linemen and tight ends. Being the first group in town, the Wednesday arrivals will benefit from not only settling in ahead of everyone else, but experiencing the least hectic day of the entire week. Here's what they'll be in store for.
