Assessing Traeshon Holden's performance at the 2024 NFL Combine
Assessing Traeshon Holden's performance at the 2024 NFL Combine The 2025 NFL Combine continued for the Oregon Ducks on Saturday, with senior wide receiver Traeshon Holden hitting the field for some drills and getting his measurables taken. While other Ducks like Derrick Harmon and Terrance Ferguson have solidified — and potentially improved — their draft stock this weekend in Indianapolis, Holden had a relatively average week at the combine. His scores weren't bad by any means, but he didn't jump off the page. gives Holden a prospect grade of 5.93 (on an eight-point scale), which, according to the rankings, means he will be "an average backup or special teamer." Here's a look at all of Holden's numbers from the day: Measurables Height: 6-foot-2 Weight: 205 pounds Hand Size: 9 7/8 inches Arm Length: 31 5/8 inches 40-yard Dash Time: 4.57 seconds Rank at Position: 15th of 19 Players Traeshon Holden's 40-yard dash time was nothing spectacular, but he isn't a player who is going to keel you with speed. Rather, he will excel with route running and physicality at the next level, so a 4.57 is a perfectly acceptable time. The fastest time was Texas' Matthew Golden at 4.30. 10-Yard Split Official Split Time: 1.54 seconds Rank at Position: 28th of 39 Players Vertical Jump Official Measurement: 32.0" Rank at Position: 32nd of 37 players Broad Jump Official Measurement: 10'3" Rank at Position: 20th of 33 players

Assessing Jordan James' performance at the 2024 NFL Combine
Assessing Jordan James' performance at the 2024 NFL Combine The 2025 NFL Combine continued for the Oregon Ducks on Saturday, with junior running back Jordan James hitting the field for some drills and getting his measurables taken. While other Ducks like Derrick Harmon and Terrance Ferguson have solidified — and potentially improved — their draft stock this weekend in Indianapolis, James's results were not what he or pro scouts were looking for. His results weren't awful, but compared to the other running backs in the class, none of James's combine results measure up. gives James a prospect grade of 6.16 (on an eight-point scale) which, according to rankings, means he will be a "Good backup with the potential to develop into starter." It was a so-so performance on Saturday, but this certainly isn't the end of the world for James. At Oregon, James compiled three seasons of impressive film, with his speed and immense strength for an RB always on full display. Here's a look at all of James' numbers from the day: Measurables Height: 5 feet 9.5-inches Weight: 205 pounds Hand Size: 9 1/2 inches Arm Length: 29 3/4'' 40-yard Dash Time: 4.55 seconds Rank at Position: 18th of 24 Players Comparatively, Jordan James' 40-yard dash finish was not great, ending up in the bottom quarter of combine RBs. A time of 4.55 seconds is not bad, but when the majority of the group lands somewhere in the 4.4-range — with a few 4.3s — it doesn't impress. James will have a chance to improve his time at Oregon's pro day before the draft, but it's unlikely he'll improve his time by more than a few hundredths of a second. 10-Yard Split Official Split Time: 1.62 seconds Rank at Position: T23rd of 24 Players While his 40-time isn't what he was looking for, James's 10-yard split was probably his most disappointing result of the day. While the 40 assesses a player's top speed, the 10-yard split is a measure of their burst — something so important for every running back. The times here are marginal, with Bhayshul Tuten, the top finisher, splitting a 1.49 and James, tying for last place, splitting a 1.62, but there are still 22 names ahead of James on the scoreboard. It's not the end of the world for Oregon's former RB, but his 40-yard dash runs and splits certainly aren't positives. Vertical Jump James elected not to participate in the vertical jump. Broad Jump Official Measurement: 9'9" Rank at Position: T20th of 23 players After a disappointing speed drill section, James didn't have the most fulfilling broad jump either, finishing under 10 feet and in a four-way tie for last place. This is another drill where the results are so marginal. Quinshon Judkins was the top broad jumper at 11-feet — just 15 inches more than James, but those 15 inches can make a big difference to scouts.

Assessing Terrance Ferguson's performance at the 2024 NFL Combine
Assessing Terrance Ferguson's performance at the 2024 NFL Combine The 2025 NFL Combine continued for the Oregon Ducks on Thursday, with senior tight end Terrance Ferguson leading the way, hitting the field for some drills and getting his measurables taken. Ferguson was among the biggest winners of the day for the tight ends who took the field, turning heads in just about every drill. On Thursday, Ferguson stated that he knew his 40-yard dash time was going to be quick, so the expectations were set pretty high going into Friday's drill. Ferguson lived up to those expectations, posting the fastest time among all TE's. In the end, Ferguson received a combine score of 6.0, with a tag of "traits or talents to be an above average backup," according to Here's a look at all of Ferguson's numbers from the day: Measurables Height: 6-foot-5 Weight: 247 pounds Hand Size: 9 1/4 inches Arm Length: 32 7/8 inches 40-yard Dash Time: 4.63 seconds Rank at Position: 1st of 14 Players Terrance Ferguson turned some heads in the 40-yard dash on Friday, running a 4.64u in his first attempt, which was the fastest of the group. He bettered that with his second attempt, clocking a 4.63, which stood as the fastest among all TE's to run. The second fastest was South Carolina's Joshua Simon at 4.65. 10-Yard Split Official Split Time: 1.55 seconds Rank at Position: T1st of 14 Players Ferguson was tied for the fastest 10-yard split in the 40-yard dash at 1.55 seconds, along with Notre Dames Mitchell Evans. Vertical Jump Official Measurement: 39.0" Rank at Position: 1st of 15 players The vertical jump is another drill where Ferguson dominated, jumping higher than any other TE in the field at the combine. The second-highest jump was, again, from South Carolina's Joshua Simon at 38.0." Broad Jump Official Measurement: 10'2" Rank at Position: 3rd of 14 players While Ferguson didn't have the farthest broad jump in the group, 10'2" is nothing to be disappointed by, and he was 3rd among all tight ends. Nebraska's Thomas Fidone II had the longest jump at 10'6."

Assessing Jeffrey Bassa's performance at the 2024 NFL Combine
Assessing Jeffrey Bassa's performance at the 2024 NFL Combine The 2025 NFL Combine got underway for the Oregon Ducks on Thursday, with senior linebacker Jeffrey Bassa leading the way, hitting the field for some drills and getting his measurables taken. Bassa looked solid throughout the afternoon of workouts, moving well in the coverage drills and looking quick and explosive in the running and jumping drills. In the end, Bassa received a solid combine score of 6.15, with the tag of "good backup with the potential to develop into a starter," according to Here's a look at all of Bassa's numbers from the day: Measurables Height: 6-foot-1 Weight: 232 pounds Hand Size: 9 1/4 inches Arm Length: 31 3/8 inches 40-yard Dash Time: 4.63 seconds Rank at Position: 11th of 16 Players Jeffrey Bassa's 40-yard dash time was nothing too impressive, but it also wasn't detrimental either. For the most part, Bassa was in the middle of the pack. UCLA's Kain Medrano ran the fastest 40-yard dash among defensive linemen at 4.46 seconds. 10-Yard Split Official Split Time: 1.59 seconds Rank at Position: 11th of 16 Players Auburn LB Eugene Asante had the fastest 10-yard split at 1.52 seconds. He had the second-fastest overall 40-time at 4.48 seconds. Vertical Jump Official Measurement: 38.5" Rank at Position: 3rd of 15 players Bassa looked great in the vertical jump, showing some explosiveness with his legs and reaching one of the best marks of all linebackers. California LB Teddye Buchanan led the way with a vertical jump of 40.00" Broad Jump Official Measurement: 9'10" Rank at Position: 9th of 15 players Another average measurement for Bassa, who was just below the midline of all linebackers when it comes to vertical. Georgia LB Smael Mondon Jr. led the way with a vertical jump of 10'10"

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 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.
