2025 NFL Scouting Combine: Joe Schoen availability, TV and workout schedule, more

The NFL world will descend upon Indianapolis this week for the annual NFL Scouting Combine. Here is the schedule of events and everything else you need to know.

Joe Schoen will kick things off

Players don’t get on the field for televised workouts until Thursday, but the action starts bright and early Tuesday morning.

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen will be in the first group of GMs and head coaches to speak with media at 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday. For the second consecutive year, head coach Brian Daboll will not have media availability in Indianapolis. By my count, 21 of the 32 head coaches will hold media sessions in Indianapolis.

Big Blue View will be on hand Tuesday morning, and throughout most of the week. So, stay tuned for our first-hand coverage, and for plenty of detail from Chris Pflum and Nick Falato, as well.

PARTICIPATING PLAYERS

Quarterbacks

The quarterback position is of paramount importance and the single most pressing need for the New York Giants. Unfortunately for the Giants, the 2025 quarterback class isn’t as highly regarded as the 2024 class, and there might be more questions than answers for a team as desperate for a quarterback as the Giants.

That isn’t to say, however, that this class is a bereft of talent as the 2021 class which was headlined by Kenny Pickett. We’ll be looking to see if Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders do anything at the Combine after sitting out the All Star games. If they don’t it could present an opportunity for passers like Jaxson Dart, Jalen Milroe, Tyler Shough, Kyle McCord, Will Howard, Kurtis Rourke, Dillon Gabriel, or Quinn Ewers to distinguish themselves. — Chris Pflum

Running backs

This year’s running back class looks to be fantastic and every bit as stacked with talent as the 2024 receiver class. There’s a tremendous breadth and depth of talent available, with players to fit every team. There are bruising power backs, lightning-quick scat-backs, and players who could find success in any niche or system. And, of course, overshadowing them all is Heisman runner-up Ashton Jeanty of Boise State, who had more yards after contact (1,882) than the next most productive runner had in total (Cam Skattebo, 1,711). — Chris Pflum

Wide receivers

The 2025 wide receiver class is overshadowed by last year’s class, as well as this year’s running back and tight end classes. However, it isn’t a bad or weak class by any means. It has several players who should emerge as starters, and potential stars, at the next level. Players like Tetairoa McMillan, Luther Burden III, Emeka Egbuka, Isaiah Bond, and Travis Hunter (should a team view him as a receiver) could all become impact receivers. This class is also packed with players who should be important role players early in their careers, like Jack Bech, Jalen Royals, and Tre Harris. — Chris Pflum

Tight ends

The 2025 tight end class is shaping up to be a worthy successor to the 2024 class. While there may not be a “Brock Bowers” in this year’s class, we could see multiple tight ends drafted in the first round. Even beyond the first round, there will be multiple tight ends who emerge as important contributors as rookies, and we should see some lesser-known names put on a show during the on-field workouts. — Chris Pflum

Offensive linemen

This year’s offensive line class isn’t considered a strong one, but that isn’t exactly fair. There are plenty of good players this year, but they might require a bit more projection than in previous years.

The big challenge in the 2025 offensive line class is figuring out just who is going to be an offensive tackle in the NFL, and which prospects who played tackle tackle in college will be guards (or centers) at the next level. The official measurements and on-field workouts will go a long way toward helping teams sort the tackle class into tackles and those who’ll be transitioned to guards or centers. — Chris Pflum

Defensive linemen/edge defenders

Just how stacked is this year’s class of defensive linemen and edge defenders? It’s a safe assumption that any time any team is on the board, they will have a defensive lineman or edge defender among their list of best players available.

This year’s class is just incredibly deep and talented throughout. Obviously players like Mason Graham, Walter Nolen, Abdul Carter, and Shemar Stewart will put on a show. But even players down the depth chart like Kyle Kennard or Omarr Norman-Lott should have impressive workouts as well. Either there is going to be an incredible run on Front 7 defenders and half of the first 100 selections will come from this group, or teams will be finding starters into the fourth round. — Chris Pflum

Linebackers

The linebacker group isn’t as deep or talented as the defensive linemen and edge defenders. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t good players here, either. This year’s class of linebackers could have some real gems in it, with players who can fill a bunch of roles in the modern NFL.

The Giants might not feel the need to draft a linebacker after Micah McFadden had a breakout year in 2024 and Darius Muasau stepped up in the absence of Bobby Okereke. But these players are worth watching anyway. — Chris Pflum

Defensive backs

The defensive back class is always enormous. That is, in part, because the NFL lumps cornerbacks and safeties together for these workouts, but this would be a sizable group even if the two were separated.

On-field workouts are always of differing importance for the various position groups. The 40-yard Dash might not be terribly important for offensive linemen, but these workouts can be vital for evaluating defensive backs. DB is the most athletically demanding position on the field, because not only do they have to match up with receivers in space, but they have to do so reactively. The measurable events can help us separate the safeties from the corners, while the position drills can separate the players with man coverage traits from the ones who don’t.

Speaking for myself (Chris here), this is when my evaluation of the secondary really kicks into gear, and the Giants could probably add both a corner and a safety. — Chris Pflum

Specialists

Kickers are, in fact, people too. And it’s also a position where the Giants might look later in the draft if they choose to make the venerable Graham Gano a cap casualty.

The presence of Jamie Gillan likely means that the Giants are set at punter. However, Ben Sauls, Andres Borregales, and Ryan Fitzgerald might be players to watch if the Giants decide to move on from Gano and add a rookie kicker. — Chris Pflum
