Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant highlight the 2025 NFL Combine, featuring new technology and a record salary cap.

The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine commenced on February 27, 2025, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, showcasing top prospects like Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant from Michigan. The first day featured on-field workouts for defensive linemen and linebackers, with drills starting at 3 p.m. ET. Teams are closely evaluating performances in critical drills, including the 40-yard dash and bench press, as they prepare for the upcoming NFL Draft.

In a significant announcement, the NFL revealed plans to implement a Hawk-Eye system for measuring first downs, replacing the traditional chain gang. This new technology is expected to expedite the measurement process, reducing average times from 75 seconds to just 30 seconds. Additionally, the league set a record salary cap of $279.2 million per team for the 2025 season, a notable increase from the previous year`s $255.4 million. This surge in cap space is anticipated to influence free agency, potentially leading to inflated contracts for mid-tier players.

The combine will continue through March 2, with quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs scheduled for March 1, followed by offensive linemen on March 2. Some top prospects, including Colorado`s Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, have opted out of on-field drills, choosing to showcase their skills at their pro days instead.
