CDR Visuals & the National Scouting Combine: Capturing the 2026 Naples Combine in Cinematic Style

As the 2026 National Scouting Combine (NSC) returns to the sunny fields of Naples, Florida, athletes, scouts, and fans will not only see elite-level performance — they’ll feel it. This year, CDR Visuals joins the Combine to bring a bold, editorial, and cinematic lens to every drill, snap, and sideline moment, elevating the entire athlete experience.

Why CDR Visuals? A Signature Style That Speaks to the Athlete’s Journey
At CDR Visuals, the mission is simple: transform each athlete’s moment into something timeless and impactful. Owner and lead photographer Chase D. Rossman explains the inspiration:
“The vision behind the look is making athletes display their skillset in one epic image that could be a personal poster on a wall or as big as a billboard.”

Rossman aims to make every client — whether a rising star or a seasoned athlete — feel like they belong on a pro-level poster. By merging sports photography with editorial and commercial sensibilities, CDR Visuals delivers visuals that aren’t just images, but statements. The goal: capture more than action — capture identity, ambition, and pride.
CDR Visuals’ portfolio spans sports, lifestyle, fine art, and commercial photography. From dramatic portraiture to high-impact sports motion, each shoot is crafted to stand out online, on walls, or as part of a professional brand. 

Storytelling Beyond the Field: Capturing the Full Athlete Experience
At the 2026 NSC, Rossman isn’t just focused on game-day highlights. He understands that some of the most powerful moments happen off the turf:
  • The quiet intensity of pre-game warmups
  • The emotional weight of locker-room routines
  • The camaraderie between teammates
  • The focus, nerves, and determination before and after each drill
     
By focusing on both macro (on-field action) and micro (behind-the-scenes moments) visuals, CDR Visuals aims to paint a complete picture of each athlete’s journey — the grind behind the glory, the story behind every rep. According to Rossman, “even prep in the locker room … is important… the full game experience is important and also grabbing the detailed shots.”

This approach aligns perfectly with the NSC’s mission: provide athletes a platform to shine not only in measurable drills, but as full-fledged individuals ready for the next level.

Bringing Fine-Art Composition to Fast-Paced Combine Action
Sports environments — especially combines — are unpredictable, intense, and fast. Rossman admits that capturing the “right” shot isn’t always easy, but he trusts in his style and his instincts:
“It might be fast-paced but there are always moments that unfold — you just have to be ready to find them.”
With experience across lifestyle, fitness, and commercial photography, CDR Visuals brings a refined eye to sports action, blending fine-art composition with high-energy imagery. This unique mix is poised to shine at the 2026 Combine, where drills, practices, and a final All-Star Showcase Game will unfold rapidly at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex. 

The Value of Professional Photography: Branding, Exposure, Opportunity
In today’s sports landscape — where social media presence, branding, and visual storytelling matter — professional photography is more than nice to have: it’s essential. Rossman believes strong visual content becomes the “cornerstone of the standard a player accepts.” Consistent, high-quality images help athletes stand out, attract opportunities, and present themselves as professionals ready for the next level — whether to scouts, teams, agents, or brand partners.
At CDR Visuals, athletes don’t just get photos — they get a visual narrative that reflects how they want to be seen: ready, polished, and serious about their career.

What to Expect at the 2026 NSC: Behind-the-Scenes, Action Shots, and Branding-Ready Content
For those attending the 2026 Combine, CDR Visuals promises comprehensive coverage:
  • High-intensity action shots during drills, 1-on-1s, 7-on-7s, and the All-Star Showcase Game. 
  • Portraits, locker-room content, warm-up and pre-game build-up — capturing the human side of the game.
  • Behind-the-scenes coverage: camaraderie, emotion, grit, and the little (but meaningful) moments between reps.
  • Branding-focused imagery: visuals designed to amplify athletes’ digital presence, social media profiles, portfolios, or promotional materials.
Rossman describes the goal simply: a “full coverage” experience — a mix of “everything,” capturing the story with “perfect imperfection.”

Why This Partnership Matters: CDR Visuals + NSC = Elevating the Combine Experience
As the NSC moves into its 15th year and plays out at a world-class venue like Paradise Coast, having a creative partner like CDR Visuals elevates the event’s impact. Combining professional-level athletics evaluation with cinematic, editorial-style documentation gives athletes more than data and film — it gives them powerful visuals that tell their story.
In a showcase built to highlight talent, organization, and potential, CDR Visuals adds a new dimension: art, identity, and exposure. For many athletes, those images will be the first impression scouts, agents, or sponsors see — and first impressions matter.
