2025 NFL Scouting Combine notes: Surprising discrepancy in Jalen Milroe's hand size

The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine has officially come to a close.

This year, 329 prospects got the invite to compete in drills during the near-week-long event at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

There were a handful of top prospects who opted not to partake in the drills, though. Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter, Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter, Miami quarterback Cam Ward and Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders were among the notable names to sit out the drills and athletic testing. While Carter was out due to injury, he and others who didn't participate in drills are expected to do so at their school's pro day in the coming weeks. 

Still, there were many prospects who performed in the events over the weekend and likely helped their draft stock. The defensive linemen and linebackers performed on Thursday. The defensive backs and tight ends took their turn on Saturday. Quarterbacks, wide receivers and running backs headlined the packed day on Saturday, before the offensive linemen closed out the week on Sunday. 

Let's take a look at some of the top moments and headlines from the week in Indianapolis. 

The Alabama quarterback had a lot of eyes on his performance during the passing drills at the combine. However, the most noteworthy thing that might have occurred with him came in the measurement portion. His hand measured at 9 3/8 inches. That's up from an 8 6/8-inch measurement at the Senior Bowl, with his hand size going above the 9-inch threshold that many believe is a requisite to play quarterback in the NFL. 

Helm's testing didn't grade out as well as some hoped it would, but there was a reason for that. The Texas tight end twisted his ankle on a false start during the 40-yard dash, according to NFL Media. Images
