What do Jacksonville Jaguars fans need to know about the 2025 NFL scouting combine?
The NFL combine is held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis and is an opportunity for the top NFL draft prospects in this year’s class to go through measurements and various on-field drills, some of which are specific to their position group, and others measure the player’s overall athleticism.
For NFL teams, this event is another data point for them as they build out their draft profiles and big boards. However, it’s a significant data point, with players potentially flying up and down draft boards depending on how they perform.
In addition to the on-field drills, teams also get the opportunity to meet with players one-on-one as well, which is another important part of the evaluation process as they get to know them both on and off the field.
When does the NFL combine start?
Beginning on Sunday, February 23rd, kickers, defensive linemen, and linebackers can begin arriving and each day throughout the week, different position groups will trickle in.
On Monday, the defensive backs and tight ends will arrive. On Tuesday, the running backs, quarterbacks, and receivers arrive, and on Wednesday the offensive linemen.
From Monday all the way through Saturday, team interviews with these various position groups can take place and the prospects will also meet with the media during this timeframe as well.
When it comes to the measurements and on-field drills, those begin for the defensive line and linebackers at 3:00 PM ET on Thursday, February 27th.
The defensive backs and tight ends will then go at 3:00 PM ET on Friday. The quarterbacks, running backs, and receivers are at 1:00 PM ET on Saturday, and the offensive line is at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, which is the final day of the event.
You can watch the on-field events as they take place on NFL Network.

When do the Jacksonville Jaguars pick in this year’s draft?
The Jacksonville Jaguars will enter the 2025 NFL draft with 10 selections, providing them with an opportunity to infuse this roster with some premium talent with six picks in the first four rounds. The Jaguars’ first-round pick will be at No. 5 overall.
Where the Jaguars are picking in Rounds 2-7 will be finalized once the NFL officially awards compensatory selections. Last offseason this happened in March, around when the NFL’s new league year begins.
The Jaguars are not projected to receive any compensatory draft picks this year.
What are the Jaguars’ biggest positions of need?
When it comes to bolstering this roster in free agency and in the draft, the Jaguars have a few different directions they can go.
For starters, the play at both the safety and cornerback positions has to improve. Last season, the Jaguars’ gave up way too many explosive pass plays and ranked 24th in completion rate, along with being 30th or worse in interceptions, passer rating, and yards per pass attempt allowed.
Along the defensive front, the Jaguars ranked 32nd in ESPN’s pass rush win rate metric and were near the bottom in quarterback pressure rate as well. Jacksonville was also 27th in run-stop rate.
On the offensive side of the ball, new head coach Liam Coen has already mentioned that the offensive line play has to improve. This includes getting better at guard, finding a long-term option at center, and competition at tackle wouldn’t be a bad idea either.
Adding to the wide receiver position, specifically a speed threat, could be on the Jaguars’ to-do list as well. While injuries were a factor, no team had a larger discrepancy in production from WR1 to WR2 than the Jaguars did last season.
Lastly, in terms of pure depth, tight end–someone who’s able to help in the run game–and quarterback are needs as well.
