NFL Combine Winners

"Winners" of the 2025 NFL combine.

With the NFL combine concluding this past weekend, let’s take a look at which players are trending up in terms of both fantasy value and the NFL draft. Also known as the “winners” of the combine. The “losers” of the combine will be posted in a separate article tomorrow. The below players are in no specific order.

He also led all RBs in vertical jump at 40.5”, and was tied for 2nd in broad jump at 10’10”. Previously pegged as a day 3 caliber RB, I’d be pretty surprised if he makes it past day 2 at this point. Tuten is a tackled evading machine, and is someone I continue to be way higher than consensus on.

Quinshon Judkins (RB, Ohio State) had a very encouraging combine. Despite being a heavier back, he was able to clock in a sub 4.5 40 time. He showed great speed and explosion for his size, and his 9.89 RAS was the best among RBs in this class. Judkins likely solidified himself as a top 5 back in this class for me, at the very least.

Raheim Sanders (RB, Arkansas) went from being viewed as a top prospect prior this year, to a likely day 3 pick at best and possibly a UDFA. His combine was a step in the
