The NFL Scouting Combine is underway from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. While prospects have descended onto Indianapolis over the last few days, the action ramps up Thursday as the players begin to hit the field.
First up are the defensive linemen and linebackers. Following Thursday’s session, defensive backs and tight ends will take the field on Friday, quarterbacks, receivers and running backs will have their turn on Saturday, and we’ll wrap everything up on Sunday with the offensive lineman.
One of the more critical aspects of the NFL combine is getting the measurements on these prospects, which continues to paint a clearer picture for teams as they craft their draft boards. Below, we’ll detail every prospect’s measurables along with what they clocked during the 40-yard dash.
NOTE: This table will be updated as more information becomes available.

Top-10 40-yard dash times (edge rushers)
DL/EDGE winners and losers
By Chris Trapasso
WINNER: DL Alfred Collins — In a loaded defensive tackle class, these prospects have to find ways to stand out. Collins did so, literally, at the combine by measuring in at 6-foot-5 1/2 and 332 pounds with arms nearly 35 inches long. He’s a mammoth human among mammoth humans in this defensive tackle class.
WINNER: DL T.J. Sanders — After measuring in at a rather unique 6-foot-3 and 284 pounds at the Senior Bowl — which led to concerns about his ability to stay, and win, inside at the next level — the South Carolina star added what is likely necessarily bulk for the next level with a weigh-in of 297 pounds in Indianapolis.
WINNER: EDGE Shemar Stewart — Stewart was 6-foot-5 and 281 pounds at the Senior Bowl, and for as intimidating as those figures together are at the edge rusher position, it felt unlikely the Texas A&M product would be able to test to his full potential with that much weight on his frame. He came into the combine at a much sleeker 267 pounds.
LOSER: DL Mason Graham — After being listed at 6-foot-3 and 320 pounds, Graham didn’t hit 300 on the scales in Indianapolis, and his 32-inch arms place right around the 12th percentile at defensive tackle since 1999. The positive here is that Graham is almost identically sized — with longer arms — to that of Rams 2024 second-round pick Braden Fiske.
LOSER: EDGE Jack Sawyer — While being 6-foot-4 and 260-pounds is impressive and hints at a three-down NFL-caliber frame, Sawyer’s 31 5/8-inch arms will be around the fifth percentile at the edge position since 1999.

LB measurements
Top-10 40-yard dash times (linebackers)
LB winners and losers
By Chris Trapasso
WINNER: Jihaad Campbell — At just under 6-foot-3 and 235 pounds with 32.5-inch arms, Campbell has premier size as a modern-day off-ball linebacker, and at under 240 pounds, he should be able to fly in the 40-yard dash and test exceptionally in the jumps.
LOSER: Chris Paul Jr. — Easily one of the smallest linebackers in this class, the Ole Miss product was under 6-foot-1 and 222 pounds — and potentially most alarming of all — had arms under 30 inches, which is almost unheard of at that position.
