The 2024 NFL Scouting combine is here, and not only does it mean that the next generation of NFL stars are showing off their skills in on-field drills, they are also getting to meet the vast NFL media for the first time.
That has led to some very notable quotes and interactions out of Indianapolis over the last few days, with everything from old college teammates joking around to answers about whether outer space and birds are real — and what one top wide receiver prospect would do if a plane was going down.

As the combine heads into its home stretch and NFL Draft season gets underway in earnest, here are some of the most buzzworthy moments coming out of the combine.
Terrion Arnold’s sweet message to mom
It was hard not to like the star Alabama cornerback based on both his performance in Friday’s combine drills and this incredible message to his mother in an interview during those drills.
Kool-Aid meets Kool-Aid
Arnold’s former Alabama teammate and fellow defensive back Kool-Aid McKinstry also had a fun interview in which he, well, lived up to his name.

J.J. McCarthy names three wide receivers he would want to throw too, including a surprise
Of course Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy likes the idea of throwing to some of the best wide receivers in the NFL, like Justin Jefferson, Davante Adams — and former Ohio State standout Jaxon Smith-Njigba?! McCarthy said he was wowed by watching the current Seahawks pass-catcher in person during rivalry games against the Buckeyes, and said he’s allowed to shout out an Ohio State star after being 3-0 against Michigan’s archrivals.
McCarthy also said part of the reason he entered the NFL Draft after winning a national championship at Michigan was based on the advice of his college coach Jim Harbaugh, who now leads the Los Angeles Chargers.
