Assessing Jamaree Caldwell's performance at the 2024 NFL Combine
Assessing Jamaree Caldwell's performance at the 2024 NFL Combine
The 2025 NFL Combine got underway for the Oregon Ducks on Thursday, with senior defensive lineman Jamaree Caldwell leading the way, hitting the field for some drills and getting his measurables taken.
Caldwell looked very strong, shedding about 10 pounds over the past month since the Reese's Senior Bowl, which was been a goal of his this offseason. While his numbers didn't stack up next to the top of the position in terms of interior defensive linemen, Caldwell's tape speaks for itself in his one year with the Ducks, and will still land him with an NFL team this spring despite his relatively mediocre 40-yard dash times and vertical jump numbers.
In the end, Caldwell received a solid combine score of 6.19, with the tag of "good backup with the potential to develop into a starter," according to NFL.com
Here is a look at the final numbers from the NFL combine for Caldwell.
Measurables
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 332 pounds
Hand Size: 9 3/8 inches
Arm Length: 32 inches
40-yard Dash
Time: 5.17 seconds
Rank at Position: 16th of 19 Players
While it may not seem impressive to rank 16th out of 19 players, Caldwell actually turned in a great time for his size and will walk away happy with the result. At 332 pounds, there aren't many times in his career where Caldwell will have to run 40 yards on a dead sprint.
Nebraska's Ty Robinson ran the fastest 40-yard dash among defensive linemen at 4.83 seconds.
10-Yard Split
Official Split Time: 1.86 seconds
Rank at Position: 17th of 20 Players
Much like his overall 40-time, Caldwell wasn't the quickest off of the ball, but as an interior defensive lineman who thrives on moving people off of their spot at wreaking havoc in rushing lanes, this isn't a major concern.
SMU DL Jared Harrison-Hunte had the fastest 10-yard split at 1.69 seconds. He had the third-fastest overall 40-time at 4.87 seconds.
Vertical Jump
Official Measurement: 27.0"
Rank at Position: 23rd of 28 players
Not a great measurement for Caldwell, who was in the bottom third of all defensive linemen when it comes to vertical.
Georgia DL Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins led the way with a vertical jump of 36.00"
Broad Jump
Jamaree Caldwell did not participate in the broad jump.
Bench Press
The Bench Press will take place on Friday for defensive linemen, so we will update this post once Dorlus' numbers come in.

TEU kicked off last Monday with a welcome gala, which was attended by many of the tight ends and their partners. Swift came along with Kelce, wearing a two-piece Hunter Bell green and white gingham set. The Grammy-winning singer also went to the "Tight End & Friends" benefit concert on Tuesday evening at Nashville's Brooklyn Bowl, where she even held a last-minute performance of her hit song "Shake It Off." To celebrate the end of a successful week, Kittle posted a photo dump on his Instagram on Friday afternoon, featuring multiple pictures and videos taken throughout the week with his fellow tight ends and friends. "Tight ends & lots of new friends!!!" Kittle wrote in his caption.

Former NFL RB LeSean McCoy rips Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger for lack of success
Earlier in the week, former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger offered up an interesting comparison between quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes. Roethlisberger said that prime Aaron Rodgers was better than current Patrick Mahomes is. Not the most controversial opinion but it definitely got former NFL running back LeSean McCoy stirred up. McCoy decided to vent about Roethlisberger and his hot take on the FS1 show, The Facility. According to McCoy, "Big Ben hates." McCoy noted that in 18 NFL seasons, Roethlisberger was never named an All-Pro and was never once in his career considered the best or even second-best quarterback in the NFL. Both of these are fair points. Roethlisberger was never a big statistical quarterback in his career. He only led the NFL in passing yards twice, and unfortunately, when you shared the league with guys like Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Drew Brees, among others, you couldn't get much traction from the national media when your team wins but you don't put up huge numbers. But what Roethlisberger did was win. And elevate the play of his teammates. Roethlisberger was 165-81-1 as a starter in 18 years and led the Steelers to two Super Bowl championships. McCoy also has two Super Bowl titles, both late in his career when he was largely a backup and just moving from team to team. If I want an opinion on a quarterback, I'm taking Roethlisberger over McCoy every time.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield Was Better Last Season In One Key Passing Stat
Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield Was Better Last Season In One Key Passing Stat originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has completely turned his career trajectory around since arriving in town ahead of the 2023 season. Advertisement Replacing legend and seven-time Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady is no easy proposition, but Mayfield's transition in Tampa Bay has been seamless. Posting two career seasons since being signed by general manager Jason Licht, Mayfield has helped the Bucs to a record-tying four straight NFC South titles and five playoff appearances in a row. But last season, we saw a part of Baker's game improve that might not have been anticipated. Pro Football Focus measured each quarterback's release rate last season, and Mayfield proved to have the third-most attempts in the league in releasing the ball in under 2.5 seconds. "Baker Mayfield's transition in Tampa Bay is a prime example, as his time to throw has decreased over the past two seasons compared to his previous three, resulting in increased production," Mason Cameron wrote. "This past season, Mayfield recorded 335 attempts in under 2.5 seconds — more than in any season he played outside of Tampa. He posted an 85.8% adjusted completion percentage and 29 touchdowns on such plays in 2024, both of which led the NFL." Advertisement Mayfield has been named to the Pro Bowl for the first and second times in his career since joining the Bucs. In 2023, he posted career highs in yards (4,044), touchdowns (28) and completion percentage (64.3). That earned him a three-year, $100 million deal from Licht and the team, and last season, he bested those career numbers by a lot with 4,500 yards, 41 touchdowns and a 71.4 completion percentage. Baker has built on the previous year each season with the Bucs, and that trend could continue in 2025.
