2025 NFL combine full measurements, testing numbers for linebackers A look at all the linebackers at the combine and their full measurements and testing numbers.
The NFL combine comes to a close Monday and all the on-field drills and testing has been completed. NFL draft prospects have been weighed, measured, examined, interviewed and tested. Now NFL teams return home to continue with their evaluation process.
The Arizona Cardinals will likely take a long look at the off-ball linebackers, as Kyzir White appeared headed to free agency and not likely returning.
Below are all the linebackers at the combine, their measurements and testing numbers (for those who participated in on-field testing). The players are listed alphabetically by school.

Takeaways
This year's batch of linebackers is plenty athletic but didn't have the athletic freaks of years past, like Cardinals linebacker Owen Pappoe.
Only one player (UCLA's Kain Medrano) ran the 40 faster than 4.5 seconds.
Explosiveness was good, with eight players posting 10-foot broad jumps. Another eight posted at least 36-inch vertical leaps.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs led NFL in rushing yards negated by penalty in 2024
Packers RB Josh Jacobs led NFL in rushing yards negated by penalty in 2024 Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs led all NFL players in rushing yards negated by penalties and was tied for the NFL lead in touchdowns negated by penalties during the 2024 season, per a Friday the 13th deep drive into "unlucky" stats by Kevin Patra. Jacobs lost out on 94 rushing yards, the most among all NFL players, and three touchdowns, tied for the most. Among the touchdowns that didn't count was a 19-yard touchdown run nullified by a holding penalty against the Minnesota Vikings on Dec. 29 and a 6-yard receiving touchdown nullified by an offensive pass interference penalty against the Detroit Lions on Dec. 5. The Packers lost both games. Jacobs also had a 20-yard touchdown run negated by a holding penalty against the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 15, delaying his first career Lambeau Leap. Much of Jacobs' negated rushing yards came during the first half of the season, including a 16-yard run against the Jacksonville Jaguars and a 23-yard run against the Tennessee Titans. Jacobs still finished the season with 1,329 rushing yards (sixth most in NFL) and 16 total touchdowns (tied for fifth most) and made the Pro Bowl. Jacobs recently said he wants to create more explosive plays in an effort to go from great to elite in 2025. Could a little better penalty luck help as well? Also featured in Patra's unlucky post: Jordan Love ranked fifth among quarterbacks in passes dropped with 23. Justin Herbert and Baker Mayfield, who both played full 17-game seasons, led the way with 25.

Former Browns scout breaks down the process behind some recent Cleveland draft decisions
Former Browns scout breaks down the process behind some recent Cleveland draft decisions Scott goes over the Browns process in arriving at draft choices Jedrick Wills, Dawand Jones and Dillon Gabriel How do teams make decisions during the NFL draft? Work on each draft class begins at least a year in advance, with every aspect of a prospect's life being uncovered along the way. Once the draft arrives, it's up to the general managers to make the final call, but they have to analyze every piece of information from their scouts and coaches before making decisions that could alter their team's future. I experienced five drafts with Andrew Berry as the lead evaluator (he was the No. 2 man in 2017), working under him as an in-house scout for the Cleveland Browns. Each draft, he made tough decisions that weren't 100% agreed upon by the rest of the personnel department. That's life as an NFL general manager. Let's look into some picks that haven't panned out and what the team's thought process was. Jedrick Wills - 2020 Rd. 1 No. 10 This was Berry's first year back with the Browns after spending 2019 with Philadelphia. It was no secret that we needed a left tackle in the 2020 draft, and luckily, there were four first-round-caliber guys: Andrew Thomas, Mekhi Becton, Tristan Wirfs, and Jedrick Wills. Wills played right tackle in college, but most of the personnel department, including me, felt he was athletic enough to switch sides. We had just hired Kevin Stefanski as head coach and Bill Callahan as OL coach, so the coaching staff was confident they could get Wills up to speed fast enough if he was the pick. The draft meeting discussions for all four guys were very interesting to be a part of. Thomas was seen as the most NFL-ready left tackle, Wirfs was an exceptional athlete, Becton was a mammoth of a man, and Wills had the right strength/athleticism combo. Thomas went fourth overall, and the three others were available when we picked at No. 10. Wills was the highest-rated of the four tackles going into the draft, so it was an easy pick when we were on the clock. Five years later, we should have taken Wirfs, but Wills was confidently the department's number one option. He's now a free agent, as injuries and attitude ultimately kept him from getting a second contract with the Browns. This miss was on the entire personnel department, not just the GM. Dawand Jones - 2023 Rd. 4 No. 111 2023 was my final draft with the Browns, and there was no doubt about the upside that Jones had coming out. Measuring 6'8 ¼', 374 lbs with 36 ⅜' arms at the combine, he checked all the boxes in terms of size and matching athleticism. He didn't have to be the most technically sound blocker because his size made him naturally tough to beat. However, there were concerns over his conditioning and how much he loved football. Many scouts, including myself, weren't a fan of Jones' film, and some of the coaches would have preferred that we pass on the big man. That said, it was clear that Berry had been intrigued by Jones since draft meetings that February. I can't fault anyone for imagining the potential of a guy that big, and I believe Berry saw him as a potential Donovan Smith-type player. Jones was the 111th overall pick and our third overall. The team was in the middle of the Deshaun Watson fallout, so we didn't pick until the third round that year. I was surprised at how well Jones did in his rookie year, but he took a clear step back last season. 2025 will be a make-or-break year for Jones and the rest of Cleveland's (so far) lackluster 2023 draft class. In my four drafts with Berry making the picks, this felt like the most unilateral decision he made. Dillon Gabriel - 2025 Rd. 3 No. 94 I'm not with the Browns anymore, so I can't speak from personal experience about the Gabriel pick. However, I feel pretty confident about how that decision was made. The grading scale in use during my tenure with the team consisted of seven total grades, with the three highest designating a different level of 'starting-caliber' player. Based on our final draft board, Berry only ever wanted players with these three grades picked throughout the draft, and especially within the first three rounds. Logically, that leads to the conclusion that Gabriel was graded as a starter by the Browns. I'd have a hard time getting behind that pick if I were still with the team. I saw Gabriel as a late-round flyer who can be a third/emergency QB this season, and hopefully develop into a quality backup. I didn't see any exceptional traits stand out on film to offset his size, and I have a tough time believing he'll become a starter. Kevin Stefanski's offense sets up well for Gabriel, given how much play action, rollouts, and quick-hitters there are, but taking him in the third round felt like a reach as he'd likely be there later on Day 3. Another aspect of the Gabriel decision is, if the Browns had a 'starter' grade on Gabriel, what grade did they have on Shedeur Sanders? But that's a discussion for another day.
