NFL Scouting Combine: What’s happening on Sunday?
The offensive linemen will be on the field to close the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Sunday.
NFL Network will televise the final-day workouts from the annual event from noon to 4 p.m. CST Sunday.
The players will have the opportunity to participate in the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, broad jump, three-cone drill, shuttle run and position drills.
There are 50 offensive linemen at the combine this year.

One more thing
The offensive linemen will end their combine work with the bench press on Monday.
First-rounders on the field
Projections vary, of course, but among the players thought to be possible first-round picks when the NFL Draft starts on April 24 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, who are part of Sunday’s group are Texas’ Kelvin Banks Jr., Alabama’s Tyler Booker, LSU’s Will Campbell, Oregon’s Josh Conerly Jr., Ohio State’s Donovan Jackson and Josh Simmons, Missouri’s Armand Membou and North Dakota State’s Grey Zabel.
Five players share the highest grade assigned by NFL.com for offensive linemen this year, which is “will become a good starter within two years.” They are Banks, Booker, Campbell, Jackson and Membou.
In the books
The best performances over the first three days at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine in the measured drills include the 4.28-second 40-yard dash by Kentucky cornerback Maxwell Hairston, 43-inch vertical jump by South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori, 138-inch broad jump by Emmanwori, 6.65-second three-cone drill by Oregon wide receiver Tez Johnson (a former Pinson Valley High School and Troy standout), 4.03-second shuttle run by Nevada safety Kitan Crawford and 32 bench-press reps by Oklahoma defensive end Ethan Downs and Alabama tight end CJ Dippre.
The defensive tackles, edge rushers and linebackers were the first players on the field for the measured drills on Thursday. The cornerbacks, safeties and tight ends took their turn on Friday. And the quarterbacks, wide receivers and running backs were up on Saturday.
Combine bests
The NFL has been holding a league-inclusive combine since 1985, but the records are sketchy for the early years of the event. Profootballreference.com has compiled results since 2000, and these are the top performances in each of the combine drills since then:
- 40-yard dash: 4.21 seconds by Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy in 2024.
- Vertical jump: 46 inches by North Carolina safety Gerald Sensabaugh in 2005.
- Broad jump: 147 inches by Connecticut cornerback Byron Jones in 2015.
- Three-cone drill: 6.28 seconds by Oklahoma defensive back Jordan Thomas in 2018.
- Shuttle run: 3.73 seconds by Iowa wide receiver Kevin Kasper in 2001.
- Bench press: 49 repetitions of 225 pounds by Oregon State defensive tackle Stephen Paea in 2011.
The three-cone drill is meant to measure a player’s ability to change directions while the shuttle run tests a player’s lateral quickness.
