The NFL Combine 2025 was a four-day event where over 300 prospects showed off their skills.  It was a big deal for scouts and fans alike.  Some top prospects chose not to work out, but everyone got measured.  This means there's plenty of data to analyze.

Travis Hunter, the Heisman winner from Colorado, surprised everyone by weighing in at close to 190 pounds.  His hand size was smaller than expected, which might be a concern for some teams.  Abdul Carter from Penn State had a big frame but didn't have his arm length measured due to a shoulder injury.  Mason Graham from Michigan was listed at 6-3 and 320 pounds by his school, but he actually weighed in at 296 pounds.  This discrepancy was a big surprise for many.

Kelvin Banks Jr. from Texas had a pretty average day at the combine.  He didn't do anything spectacular, but he didn't disappoint either.  Will Johnson from Michigan didn't work out due to an injury, but his arm length was shorter than expected.  Will Campbell from LSU had a clean film but was criticized for his lack of length.  He was one of the few offensive linemen to run a 40-yard dash in under 5. 00 seconds.

Tetairoa McMillan from Arizona was a standout wide receiver.  He measured in at over 6-4 and 219 pounds, which was a big check mark for his size.  Cam Ward from Miami and Shedeur Sanders from Colorado had similar sizes, but Ward had smaller hands and shorter arms.  Jalon Walker from Georgia is an edge rusher, but he might be on the smaller end of the spectrum.  James Pearce Jr. from Tennessee had an impressive combine, with a 4. 47 40-yard dash and a 31-inch vertical.

Ashton Jeanty from Boise State was expected to be short, and he measured in at 5-8.  Malaki Starks from Georgia had an impressive 10-yard split, which was the fastest among defensive backs.  Luther Burden III from Missouri was slightly taller than expected and ran a 4. 41 40-yard dash.  Armand Membou from Missouri had an impressive combine, with a 4. 91 40-yard dash and a 34-inch vertical.

Colston Loveland from Michigan was compared to Tyler Warren from Penn State, and Loveland had bigger hands and a longer wingspan.  Mykel Williams from Georgia had impressive length, with 34 3/8-inch arms.  Walter Nolen from Ole Miss didn't test, but his shorter wingspan was noted.  Mike Green from Marshall had quality measurements, but nothing spectacular.

Tyler Warren from Penn State was a human tank at 6-5 1/2 and 256 pounds, but his arms were shorter than most tight ends his size.  Josh Simmons from Ohio State is recovering from an injury, but his measurables were impressive.  Jihaad Campbell from Alabama had tremendous length and ran a 4. 52 40-yard dash.  Nic Scourton from Texas A&M had a big frame and a long wingspan.

Shemar Stewart from Texas A&M had an impressive combine, with a 40-yard dash and a 34-inch vertical.  Shedeur Sanders from Colorado had a middle-of-the-road size for a quarterback.  Tyler Booker from Alabama had an impressive weigh-in, but his workout was a disappointment.
