NOBULL Reinvented the NFL Combine Experience

The Las Vegas Raiders' draftees were among the hundreds of prospects to prosper from the sponsorship of NOBULL at this year's NFL Combine.
In this story:

The Las Vegas Raiders drafted some of the best prospects the 2023 NFL Combine offered back in March.

Raiders first-round pick Tyree Wilson received a production score of 91 from NFL Next Gen Stats, second-best among edge rushers.

Cornerback Jakorian Bennett, whom Las Vegas selected in the fourth round, also shined at the NFL Combine, recording the second-fastest 40-yard dash time (4.30 seconds).

These prospects and the other 300-plus players who attended this year's combine benefited from a new, player-oriented experience at this year's event.

Starting this year, NOBULL became the new presenting sponsor of the NFL Combine, innovating the event in a way that's never been done before.

We talked with NOBULL CEO and co-founder Marcus Wilson at the 2023 NFL Combine to discuss the approach his company sought to take with the event.

"For us," Wilson said, "it's one of these things where as a brand -- NOBULL launched in 2015 and it's been always about training and celebrating the hard work people put in, athletes put in, every single day, and we can't think of a better way of celebrating that than here at the NFL Combine where you've got these young men coming for what's ultimately kind of the ultimate job interview, and their whole lives have been leading them up to this point, and they've been working hard day in and day out.

"And so, for us, when we came last year and kind of took a look at things and saw people warming up in the hallways, our goal is: 'How can we kind of provide an experience for these athletes who have been working so incredibly hard to be at their best?' And part of it was building this training facility. ... And not just for the turf, 40-yard field, or the weights and all those, but also, we have a full recovery area for them after their workouts to be able to really recover. And then the athlete HQ or locker rooms was really about providing them with an amazing experience when it comes to picking up their product for the first time. A lot of these athletes are getting exposed to NOBULL for the first time, and we wanted to make sure that it's one that really shows our appreciation and respect for the hard work that they do."
