The 2025 NFL Combine got underway with its first on-field workouts on Thursday, but before players took to the field, their measurements provided some early buzz.

Defensive linemen and linebackers were under the spotlight as the first position groups to be assessed for their accurate height, weight, arm length, hand size and more.

Here's a look at some of the most notable numbers, per NFL.com.

Michigan's Mason Graham is widely viewed as one of the best overall prospects in this year's class, but his measurements left much to be desired. Some fans on social media called out the huge disparity between his listed playing weight of 320 pounds and his official weigh-in of 296 pounds on Thursday.

However, others believed that Graham has all the tools to be a difference-maker in the NFL regardless of his measurements:

It sounds like Graham will be a player that polarizes fan bases in the lead-up to the 2025 NFL draft, but the overall projection is that he has a bright future despite potentially being undersized.

Penn State star Abdul Carter is the headliner at this position and one of the players in the running to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 draft by the Tennessee Titans. However, he didn't participate in the official measurement on Thursday.

Without Carter drawing attention, other players got a chance to shine like Georgia's Mykel Williams and Texas A&M's Shemar Stewart:

Edge rushers are becoming more and more important in the golden age of quarterbacks in the NFL, so there's a chance that many of these players will be able to improve their draft stock with impressive showings at the combine.

Georgia's Jalon Walker is one of the most intriguing players in the 2025 class, as he told reporters on Wednesday that he believes he has the talent to be used in a variety of ways on defense.

Walker's measurements drew some attention, though some are still convinced that he will be able to produce despite questions about his size.
