Two more top prospects will skip on-field drills
Top prospects Abdul Carter and Ashton Jeanty won’t be participating in on-field drills at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine.
Carter, per his agent Drew Rosenhaus, is still recovering from a shoulder injury suffered in Penn State’s loss to Notre Dame in the College Football Playoffs.
Rosenhaus confirmed that Carter will go through medical exams and meet with teams, but won’t take part in the measurable events or on-field drills at the Combine. Carter’s agent expressed confidence that he (Carter) will be ready to go through a full workout at Penn State’s Pro Day on March 28th after suffering the injury on January 9th.
Carter has been a popular pick for the New York Giants in mock drafts, and it’s widely expected that the top edge rusher will be selected in the first five (or three) picks of April’s draft.
Boise State running back, and Heisman runner-up, Ashton Jeanty will also be skipping the on-field portion of the combine in favor if his school’s Pro Day. As with Carter, Jeanty’s agent (Henry Organ) confirmed that the draft’s top running back would go only through medical exams and meet with teams.
Jeanty is coming off of a historic season in which he led the nation in rushing by 890 yards, averaged 7.0 yards per carry, and scored 29 rushing touchdowns. He too is widely expected to be a first round selection despite the running back position being devalued in general in the draft. Boise State’s Pro Day will be held on March 30th.
The news of Carter and Jeanty not participating in the on-field portion of the Combine comes a day after it was announced that Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders wouldn’t be workout out.
