What are the 2025 NFL Combine events?

Players will undergo an array of tests at the scouting combine. Here's a look at the primary tests in 2025:

• 20-yard shuttle
• 225 bench press
• 3 cone drill
• 40-yard dash
• 60-yard shuttle
• Broad jump
• Cybex test
• Drug screening
• Injury evaluations
• Team interviews
• Vertical jump
• Wonderlic test

This year's Combine should feature potential top-10 picks such as Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter and Ashton Jeanty. Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders are regarded as the top quarterback prospects in the upcoming draft and will be in attendance for team interviews and physical testing. However, it wouldn't be surprising if both players opt out of physical drills in order to protect their draft stock.

Reigning Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter will be at the 2025 Combine as well. As a two-way star who excelled at both wide receiver and cornerback during his college football career, he can participate on either the day designated for receivers or the day for defensive backs.

Running back Ashton Jeanty and defensive end Abdul Carter will also attend. Both players enjoyed stellar collegiate football careers and they'll look to improve their draft stocks by standing out at the Combine. This event provides a valuable opportunity for them to meet with potential general managers and make a strong case for being selected in April's draft.
