The 2025 NFL Combine is a wrap and the offensive line class is looking even more stacked than it did before. The average athletic testing profile came in around the 67th percentile historically across all offensive line positions, making it one of the most impressive in NFL Combine history.
That's great news for teams looking for offensive line help, but it does make it a bit more difficult to sift through which premier talents to target.
Let's take a dive into all the NFL Combine winners among the top offensive line prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft class to see how the early round rankings might be shifting a bit.
Armand Membou, OT Missouri
Armand Membou was already rising swiftly up 2025 NFL Draft boards for the weeks heading into the NFL Combine, considered a potential first round selection, but now he's likely a lock for Top 32. Membou measured in with perfect prototype measurements at 6'4", 332 pounds with nearly 34-inch arms, then posted a 99th percentile athletic score. A 4.91-second forty-yard dash at 332 pounds was good for a 100th percentile speed score. He could push to become the OT1 in the class now.
Jared Wilson, IOL Georgia
Jared Wilson was already potentially the top natural offensive center prior to the NFL Combine, but he is likely passing up a handful of interior offensive line and tackle prospects on the big boards now. When I spoke with him at the NFL Combine he was aiming for sub-4.9 seconds in the forty and he nailed it. 99th percentile speed score. 92nd percentile burst score. He was always an impressive athlete at center, but his testing was absolutely wild. He may be a second round pick now.
Will Campbell, OT LSU
There was a bunch of fuss about Will Campbell's arm length heading into the NFL Combine, but once he tested athletically on the field those worries seemed to disappear. Campbell was always one of the most impressive athletes on the field at LSU, so it shouldn't be surprising, but his testing was nearly off the charts with a 98th percentile A to Z Athletic Composite. He still may end up succeeding best at guard one day given his arms, but he is perhaps the best offensive lineman in the class.

Tate Ratledge, IOL Georgia
Tate Ratledge was the leader of the Georgia offense in 2024 per Kirby Smart and several teammates who confirmed this at the NFL Combine. He has all the intangibles, leadership, and the long flowing mullet that you want a gritty interior offensive lineman to have. And on top of that he confirmed elite athleticism too? His slight drop from 2nd round pick to projected 3rd round pick in large sample mock draft data should reverse course now.
Jalen Travis, OT Iowa State
One of the biggest surprises at the NFL Combine was Jalen Travis. It was always clear he was a massive human being as he came in at 6'8", 339 pounds, but then he tested at an elite level. His 35" broad jump was second among all offensive lineman at the 2025 NFL Combine, and his speed score was 90th percentile at his near 340-pound weight. Travis was a mid-late day three prospect for many prior to last week, but his athleticism might be too good to pass up in round four.
Honorable Mentions
Caleb Rogers (Texas Tech), Drew Kendall (Boston College), Eli Cox (Kentucky), and Jackson Slater (Sacramento State) were all late round guys who also tested above the 90th percentile in the A to Z Sports Athletic Composite. All solidified their day three 2025 NFL Draft capital.
Grey Zabel (North Dakota State), Josh Conerly Jr. (Oregon), Jonah Savaiinaea (Arizona), and Aireontae Ersery (Minnesota) were consensus Top 60 picks who solidified their status as well, all testing above the 87th percentile for their positions. This really complicates the rankings for the fringe first round talents given they're nearly all extremely athletic.
