Top Draft Takeaways from DB & TE On-Field Workouts

The defensive backs stole the show at Lucas Oil Stadium during the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. Despite a slow start, Friday brought out some shining stars, led by the standout prospect, South Carolina safety Nick Emmanwori. Known for his impressive athletic abilities, Emmanwori lived up to the hype and left scouts in awe with his performance on the field.

While Emmanwori may have been the standout of the first two days, the other defensive backs didn’t disappoint either. Several prospects put on impressive displays, adding depth and strength to this year’s DB class.

On the other hand, the tight ends also had their chance to showcase their skills, even though top prospects Tyler Warren from Penn State and Colston Loveland from Michigan opted out of participating.

The Bleacher Report Scouting Department, led by Matt Holder and Dame Parson, provided insights into the standout performers and the disappointments of Friday’s combine activities. It was a day filled with excitement and surprises as these young athletes made their mark on the field.
