The 2012 NFL Combine, the biggest event of the NFL's pre-draft season, kicked off Wednesday, with kickers, punters, offensive lineman and tight ends arriving in Indianapolis.

If you're excited to watch a bunch of large gentlemen running as fast as they can, though, you'll have to wait a little while longer. Thursday is the day-before-the-day for special teams players, offensive lineman and tight ends.

Players in these groups arrived on Wednesday to register for the Combine, receive their hospital pre-exam and X-rays, undergo orientation and participate in interviews.

Notable players in this group include Ohio St. Buckeyes lineman Mike Adams, Clemson Tigers tight end Dwayne Allen and USC Trojans lineman Matt Kalil (more players listed here).

You can find the full list of players invited to the 2012 NFL Combine via the NFL Combine's official website.
