INDIANAPOLIS -- It's Friday of NFL combine week, which means prospect measurements and on-field workouts are officially in full swing. The schedule is as follows:
- Friday: TE and DB
- Saturday: QB, RB and WR
- Sunday: OL
In the morning, players log official measurements, including height, weight, wingspan, arm length and hand size. In the afternoon, they participate in on-field testing -- including the 40-yard dash, vertical and broad jumps, and bench press -- before wrapping up with positional drills inside Lucas Oil Stadium.
The festivities kicked off Thursday with defensive linemen, edge rushers and linebackers. Much of the day's discussion centered on Rueben Bain Jr.'s historically short arms, but once workouts began, attention shifted to the top prospects not named Bain, who elected not to work out. (Other top prospects to sit out included Peter Woods, Akheem Mesidor and CJ Allen.)
Ohio State EDGE Arvell Reese -- the No. 3 prospect in CBS Sports draft analyst Mike Renner's rankings -- performed like a bona fide top-five pick, as did Ohio State LB Sonny Styles (No. 10) and Texas Tech EDGE David Bailey (No. 19).
Now attention turns to defensive backs and tight ends on Friday. While Tennessee's Jermod McCoy and LSU's Mansoor Delane -- two of Renner's top three cornerbacks in this class -- will not participate, expect other first-round talents like Ohio State's Caleb Downs (No. 7), Clemson's Avieon Terrell (No. 11) and Oregon's Kenyon Sadiq (No. 29) to showcase their unique skill sets.
As combine week rolls along, we've got you covered with every official measurement and testing number as they come in from Indianapolis.

EDGE measurement takeaways
Concerns
- We knew Rueben Bain Jr.'s arms were going to measure short, but his 30⅞-inch arms rank as the fourth-shortest among edge rushers since 1999, per MockDraftable. His 77⅜-inch wingspan isn't ideal, either; only 19 edge rushers in the MockDraftable database (since 1999) have measured shorter. Bain will still be a first-round pick -- likely in the top 10 — but teams with strict length thresholds could be wary of those numbers.
- Cashius Howell, Mike Renner's No. 24 prospect in this class, has even shorter arms than Bain at 30¼ inches -- the shortest of any edge rusher since 1999, per MockDraftable. However, the reigning SEC Defensive Player of the Year doesn't believe his historically short arms will prevent him from being productive in the NFL. "Those are just the cards that I've been dealt," Howell said during Wednesday's podium session. "I'm going to do everything in my power to perfect my technique and perfect my craft in whatever way possible."
Can star Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. overcome physical limitations?

DL measurement takeaways
Winners
- Florida's Caleb Banks is having a heck of a pre-draft process after being limited to just three games last season because of a broken foot. He reminded everyone of his NFL potential with a strong showing at the Senior Bowl, then followed that up with impressive combine measurables, including an 85¾-inch wingspan — the longest among combine defensive tackles since 1999. He also posted 98th percentile height (6-foot-6 ¼), 89th percentile weight (327 pounds), 94th percentile hand size (10⅞ inches) and 94th percentile arm length (35 inches). Banks has a good chance to go in the back half of Round 1.
- Florida State's Darrell Jackson Jr. has 11-inch hands, tied for the largest at the combine since at least 2014.
Concerns
- Clemson's Peter Woods entered the 2025 season as a potential top-five pick, but an inconsistent fall -- despite earning first-team All-ACC honors -- pushed him out of that conversation. While Woods remains a first-round talent, some of his measurables disappointed, including fourth-percentile arm length (31¼ inches) and 10th-percentile wingspan (76⅜ inches). Woods also did not participate in on-field drills at the combine. He'll look to show off his skill set at Clemson's pro day on March 12.
