Everette's 2025 game film was not elite, but he ran a stellar 4.38-second 40-yard dash (1.54 10-yard split) at 6-foot-1 1/4 and 196 pounds. He displayed his explosiveness with a 37 1/2-inch vertical, too. His hands were solid in field drills, extending away from his frame to secure passes with and high-pointing deep throws better than most other participants. If teams put more value on Everette's pre-2025 tape his combine workout, he might end up being picked in Round 2.

Gyllenborg was a known commodity for scouts after his junior season, but injuries limited his production in 2025. The 6-5 3/4, 249-pounder needed to show out at the combine to give himself a chance at getting into the Day 2 mix. His 4.60-second 40 and 10-8 broad jump were good indicators of his athleticism. He also helped himself by displaying smooth movements and strong hands during the workout. I’m expecting Gyllenborg to be a strong pass-catching presence as a rookie.

Johnson had the most impressive overall workout among the combine cornerbacks, which should put him in the top-50 conversation. He checked the necessary boxes with his measurements (6-0 3/8, 193 pounds, 9 7/8-inch hands). He ran a strong 4.40-second 40 and had a 38-inch vertical jump. During on-field drills, his backpedal was smooth and he showed the ability to turn on a dime. Johnson double-caught and dropped a couple of passes but he looked good bringing in others. 

Pride needed a big day on the Lucas Oil Stadium field to separate himself from other potential Day 3 picks at cornerback. His CB-best 4.32 40 was impressive, even though he’s not the biggest corner at 5-10 3/8 and 185 pounds. He looked fast during drills, too, though he struggled to catch the ball and change directions early on. The former Missouri Tiger showed his competitive nature by improving throughout the workout, reeling in passes more consistently to restore faith in his ball skills.

Sadiq measured 6-3 1/8, which put to rest any concerns that he would not reach the 6-3 mark. His 43 1/2-inch vertical and 11-1 broad jump showed his elite athleticism. Then he posted a 4.39-second 40 at 241 pounds, the fastest time for a combine tight end since at least 2003. Unfortunately, Sadiq and fellow workout king Eli Stowers (4.51 40, 45 1/2-inch vertical) passed on the opportunity to show their ball skills during drills. The former Oregon Duck has 10-inch hands but had some issues with drops last season. He'll need to show that skill at his pro day or in private workouts with teams.

We all saw Lorenzo's brother, Sonny, dominate Thursday's combine proceedings, so it's no surprise Lorenzo ran a 4.27-second 40, the fastest by a safety since at least 2003, and jumped 39 inches in the vertical. The former Notre Dame receiver flashed the ball skills to grab passes outside his frame and has good size (6-0 1/2, 194) for a defensive back. Styles was a bit stiff in his movements during drills, though, which could keep him from climbing into Day 2 of the draft.

Thieneman was expected to excel at the combine and he did not disappoint. He started with a 41-inch vertical and 10-5 broad jump. Then he ran a 4.35 40 (1.52 10-yard split) at 6-0 1/8, 201 pounds. Thieneman changed directions quickly for a player with his build during drills and brought in passes, even when they were thrown outside his frame. A productive player at Purdue and Oregon, he seems like a lock for the first round after his display of athleticism. 

Igbinosun improved in coverage as a senior, helping the Buckeyes stifle offenses. He has the size teams want on the outside (measured 6-2 1/8 with 32 7/8-inch arms) but his 34-inch vertical and 1.58-second 10-yard split in the 40 won’t inspire confidence in his quickness. Igbinosun exhibited stilted movement, stiff hips and struggled to find/adjust to the ball when challenged.

Klare's production at Purdue in 2024 made him a coveted player when he entered the transfer portal after that season. However, he did not see as many passes with Ohio State in 2025, so I was a bit surprised when he entered the draft instead of returning for another college season. He chose not to run or jump at the combine on Friday. His ball skills, change of direction and suddenness in routes looked average during drills. In a deep tight end group, Klare failed to stand out as an athlete or pass-catcher in Indianapolis. His pro day will be even more important as he tries to convince teams he’s worthy of a top-75 pick.

McNeil-Warren did not have a poor workout, but he fell victim to outstanding performances by other top safety prospects. With Jalon Kilgore, Genesis Smith and Thieneman displaying elite athleticism, McNeil-Warren’s 4.52 40, 35 1/2-inch vertical and 10-2 broad jump just didn’t stand out. His drill work was fine, too. He grabbed passes smoothly and moved relatively well for a player his size. However, "EMW" wasn't flawless in his change of direction and was told by coaches on multiple occasions to finish drills through to the end.
