The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine is officially underway, with Thursday marking the start of on-field workouts for defensive linemen and linebackers. This is an exciting day for Detroit Lions fans, as EDGE rusher is a key position of need for the team heading into the draft.
The workout schedule includes a series of tests: the 40-yard dash, shuttle drills, vertical and broad jumps, bench press, and position-specific drills. Notable players in this group include Mike Green from Marshall and Nic Scourton from Texas A&M, both of whom have met with the Lions during their time in Indianapolis.
However, some top prospects are sidelined due to injuries. Defensive end Abdul Carter, a potential No. 1 overall pick, and Michigan’s Kenneth Grant, who is dealing with a hamstring strain, will not participate in the drills but will have another chance to showcase their skills at their pro days.
As the day progresses, the Lions’ front office will be watching closely, looking for the next defensive playmaker to bolster their pass rush. Keep an eye on the Combine for any standout performances that could influence Detroit’s draft strategy.
