2025 NFL combine takeaways, results tracker, top performances and more as workouts wrap up from Indianapolis

The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine is in the books!

It was an entertaining and information-filled week as all 32 NFL teams and more than 300 prospects descended upon Indianapolis with the hopes of a) wowing clubs into drafting them at the end of April or b) finding the future building blocks of their franchise.

Unfortunately, many of the top prospects decided against working out at Lucas Oil Stadium, but there were still plenty of fireworks from when the workouts began Thursday afternoon to when they concluded Sunday evening. Texas A&M defensive end Shemar Stewart tested like Myles Garrett on Thursday night, while South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori delivered one of the best combine performances in NFL history on Friday. 

The offensive skill positions (aside from tight end) took the field Saturday, and there were plenty of highlights, which you can read about here (QBs), here (WRs) and here (RBs). We then had the offensive linemen close us out Sunday, with top prospects Will Campbell (LSU) and Armand Membou (Missouri) showcasing why they deserve to be top-10 picks in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Surprise WR1?

A former NFL GM said there's "no doubt" that Texas' Matthew Golden will be the first receiver taken in the 2025 NFL Draft. He ran the fastest 40-yard dash time among offensive prospects at the NFL combine, but he has widely been seen as a back-end-of-the-first round prospect. Let's get to know the wideout ex-Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum is sold on.

Texas TE Gunnar Helm completed combine with nasty ankle sprain

Donovan Jackson injured?

It's clear the Ohio State interior lineman isn't 100%, and the NFL Network broadcast even mentioned how Jackson should consider sitting out the rest of the day if there's an issue. CBS Sports' No. 3 interior offensive lineman prospect, and No. 38 overall player. 

Jackson was later seen getting his right leg wrapped by the combine medical staff, but he maintains he's fine.

Scary moment for top OL prospect

Will Campbell has had an up-and-down Saturday in Indianapolis. His wingspan was just 77 3/8 inches, which would be the shortest of any offensive tackle at the NFL combine since at least 2011, per PFF. He then dominated the 40-yard dash, leading all offensive lineman with a time of 4.98 seconds and reaching a max speed of 20.05 miles per hour. 

Then came the scary moment, when Campbell was doing what's called the "wave drill" and his leg gave out. Luckily, Campbell hopped up and appeared to be OK. He's the No. 2 OT prospect in CBSSports.com's consensus rankings and No. 6 overall.

Sanders' QB2 status in doubt? 

NFL Media reported during the NFL combine Saturday night that Cam Ward has separated himself as the top quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft. As for Shedeur Sanders, it appears the race for QB2 is more up in the air than many people previously thought. Sanders opted not to work out in Indianapolis, while his counterparts, such as Jaxson Dart and Quinn Ewers, took the field at Lucas Oil Stadium to throw.

Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers hits his receiver right in the hands on the deep ball

You wouldn't think this would stand out, but there were quite a number of reps in the initial deep passing drills in which the quarterback and the receiver clearly weren't on the same page.
