Over 300 players took part in the event, showcasing their skills and abilities through medical checks, measurements, interviews, and game film.
Here are the top 10 players who impressed at the Combine:
1. S Nick Emmanwori, South Carolina – Measured at 6-foot-3, 220 pounds with a 43-inch vertical and 11-foot-6-inch broad jump, Emmanwori will be a chess piece in any defensive coordinator’s game plan.
2. LB Jihaad Campbell, Alabama – Campbell dominated the Combine, running 4.52 seconds in the 40-yard dash and showcasing explosive traits that translate to the field.
3. Edge James Pearce Jr., Tennessee – With a 4.47-second mark in the 40 at 245 pounds, Pearce’s speed and quickness were on full display during drills.

5. OL Armand Membou, Missouri – Membou’s size (6-4) and arm length were average, but his physical presence on tape and impressive 40-yard dash time of 4.91 seconds made him a standout prospect.
6. WR Matthew Golden, Texas – With an impressive 4.29-second mark in the 40 at 17.0 yards per reception last season, Golden has the traits to play inside or outside at this level.
