The Rivals adizero Combines presented by adidas is a free high school football combine that will measure athletes' five key drills including 40-yard dash, shuttle run, 3-cone drill, vertical jump and broad jump. Athletes are tested using Zybek testing equipment, the same equipment used at the NFL combine. Top performers in the combine will have an opportunity to earn an invitation to the Rivals 3 Stripe Camp.

Players attending Rivals 3 Stripe Camps presented by adidas will receive instruction from top former NFL and college players and coaches and test their abilities against top athletes from each region.
