NFL combine live updates: Highlights, results, how to watch Saturday

Posted by author March 1, 2025 Football

The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine is about to get very offensive.

With all defensive players having measured and participated in drills, the offensive stars will shine under the spotlight the remainder of the weekend. Following the defensive backs finishing up the defensive side of things on Friday, tight ends took the field to debut offense at this year’s combine. Saturday’s schedule features the quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers.

As has been the unfortunate case in this year’s NFL combine, there will be several notable omissions from on-field drills on Saturday. Top NFL draft prospects Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders, Ashton Jeanty and Tet McMillan will be on the sidelines on Saturday while others participate in drills.

That means there’s an opportunity for players like Jaxson Dart, Jalen Milroe and Isaiah Bond to climb the boards with strong showings in Indy on Saturday.

USA TODAY Sports will provide live highlights, updates and more from Saturday’s loaded combine schedule below. All times are Eastern.

The last group of receivers and quarterbacks have finished up in Indianapolis, putting a bow on Day 3 of the 2025 NFL combine. Just the offensive lineman remain for this year’s event and they will take the field on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Only three quarterbacks participated in the 40-yard dash this year. Here’s how they performed:

Brady Cook, Missouri: 4.59
Tyler Shough, Louisville: 4.63
Seth Henigan, Memphis: 4.76

The NFL has posted its official times for all wide receivers that participated in this year’s 40-yard dash. Here’s how the top 10 looks after both groups of wideouts finished running:

Matthew Golden, Texas: 4.29
Dont’e Thornton Jr., Tennessee: 4.30
Chimere Dike, Florida: 4.34
Jaylin Lane, Virginia Tech: 4.34
Arian Smith, Georgia: 4.36
Tai Felton, Maryland: 4.37
KeAndre Lambert-Smith, Auburn: 4.37
Jordan Watkins, Mississippi: 4.37
Isaiah Bond, Texas: 4.39
Jaylin Noel, Iowa State: 4.39

Thornton, who measured in at 6-foot-5, 205 pounds, ran an unofficial 4.30-second 40-yard dash, which led every wide receiver in the second group to run the drill.

His 4.30 mark, if official, would also rank second of all wideouts, behind only Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden and his 4.29-second time with the first group of receivers.

Noel tied Miami (FL) receiver Sam Brown Jr. for the top spot among receivers with a 41.5-inch vertical leap. Noel’s 11-foot-2-inch broad jump surpassed Brown to set the high mark for wideouts.

The Iowa State product’s numbers showcase his impressive explosiveness at the position. He’ll run the 40-yard dash with the second group of wide receivers shortly.

Milroe’s hands were measured at 8 3/4 inches at the Senior Bowl a few weeks ago. At the NFL combine, Milroe’s hands measured in at 9 3/8 inches, half an inch bigger than they were in Mobile, Alabama.

The NFL has confirmed official times for the first batch of wide receivers’ 40-yard dashes. Here’s how the top 10 shook out:

Matthew Golden, Texas: 4.29
Chimere Dike, Florida: 4.34
Tai Felton, Maryland: 4.37
Isaiah Bond, Texas: 4.39
Luther Burden III, Missouri: 4.41
Tory Horton, Colorado State: 4.41
Elijhah Badger, Florida: 4.43
Elic Ayomanor, Stanford: 4.44
Sam Brown Jr., Miami (FL): 4.44
Jimmy Horn Jr., Colorado: 4.46

The first group of receivers finished running their 40-yard dash attempts and going through the gauntlet drill. A few moments later, they started running routes for the quarterback prospects to start throwing on the field.

Mississippi’s Jaxson Dart, Texas’ Quinn Ewers, Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel and Ohio State’s Will Howard are among the first group of throwers.

According to his second unofficial time, Bond was unable to break the 4.4-second mark in the 40-yard dash. He had told reporters Friday that he expected to break former teammate Xavier Worthy’s 4.21-second record at this year’s combine.

Bond, who was expected to be one of the fastest prospects at the NFL combine, clocked an unofficial 4.41-second time in his first try at the 40-yard dash.

Missouri’s Brady Cook and Memphis’ Seth Henigan were the only two signal-callers to run with the first group at the NFL combine. Cook ran an unofficial 4.60, and Henigan reached 4.77.

The first batch of wide receivers started running their 40s a few minutes after Henigan’s second run.

The running backs’ portion of on-field drills is over, and the quarterbacks have started to warm up ahead of their session.

Notably absent are Miami (FL)’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders, both of whom opted out of working out at the combine this week. Both players will work at their respective pro days instead: Ward in Coral Gables on March 24, and Sanders on a March date to be announced.

The 40-yard dash times for running backs are now official. History will show that Virginia Tech’s Bhayshul Tuten turned in the fastest time for the position in 2025, clocking in at 4.32, while Texas’ Jaydon Blue finished with a 4.38. SMU’s Brashard Smith was the only other running back to finish with a sub-4.40 40-yard dash, posting a 4.39. Here’s a look at the top-10:

Bhayshul Tuten, Virginia Tech: 4.32
Jaydon Blue, Texas: 4.38
Brashard Smith, SMU: 4.39
RJ Harvey, UCF: 4.40
Montrell Johnson Jr., Florida: 4.41
Trevor Etienne, Georgia: 4.42
DJ Giddens, Kansas State: 4.43
TreVeyon Henderson, Ohio State: 4.43
Donovan Edwards, Michigan: 4.44
Jarquez Hunter, Auburn: 4.44

Skattebo made headlines for his decision to skip most of the drills at the NFL combine. His most notable absence came in the 40-yard dash, something many evaluators and fans wanted to see from the Arizona State running back. NFL Network’s Stacy Dales reported on the broadcast that Skattebo is dealing with a left hamstring injury that is considered to be a “low-grade” issue.

He put on a show in front of a national audience at the Peach Bowl against Texas and now looks primed to be a name to watch at the NFL draft. Skattebo turned in 143 rushing yards, 99 receiving yards, 42 passing yards, scored two touchdowns and threw for another in a losing effort. While the Sun Devils didn’t advance, football fans were looking forward to his performance at the NFL combine. The focus now shifts to Arizona State’s pro day, where Skattebo is expected to run.

Turns out, this Hokie was just getting warmed up. Tuten turns on the jets and posts a 4.32 in his second attempt, separating himself from the pack with that run.

Blue said earlier in the week that he would break the record set by the Kansas City Chiefs‘ Xavier Worthy last year. He suggested he would run around 4.10 or 4.20, but the results said otherwise. After two runs in the 40-yard dash, Blue didn’t beat Worthy’s 4.21 time. The Texas running back instead posted a 4.39 in his second attempt after running a 4.40 the first time around.

The Virginia Tech running back posted an unofficial 4.38 in his first attempt. That is the best of any running back thus far, beating out Texas’ Jaydon Blue in what’s been a fairly speedy class thus far.

We are off and running, literally, on Day 3 at the NFL combine. The running backs are up first as Ole Miss’ Ulysses Bentley IV gets us going with a unofficial 4.62.
