2025 NFL combine workout tracker: Miami QB Cam Ward makes decision whether he’ll throw

The NFL Scouting Combine is underway from Indianapolis. Over the next few days, some of the top prospects who are set to enter the 2025 NFL Draft will begin making their case to be selected in April’s draft. Defensive linemen and linebackers got the on-field workouts going on Feb. 27 followed up by the defensive backs and tight ends on Feb. 28, quarterbacks, wide receivers and running back on March 1, and rounded out by the offensive lineman on March 2. 

While this will certainly be a who’s who event, there is always a question of participation. Oftentimes, the NFL combine is a place where prospects make their initial impression on teams, but primarily through meetings. As for the workouts, it’s sort of a mixed bag as to who’ll actually step onto the field at Lucas Oil Stadium. For instance, some quarterbacks will run the 40-yard dash and do some conditioning drills but will hold off on throwing until their respective pro days. 

Below, we’ll track each of the top prospects in this year’s class who are at the NFL combine and see what their level of participation is.
