Madden 24: All Combine Questions and Answers

In Madden 24 Superstar Mode, the 32 NFL teams your player will be eligible to join will want to know that they’ve put their stock into the right player.

In this guide, we’ll give you all of the correct answers to any questions you might be asked during the Combine.
