The testing portion of the NFL scouting combine will begin today at 2 pm CT on NFL Network, but players started arriving on Sunday, and interviews have been going on since Monday. This isn’t the “first day of the combine,” as teams have been putting in work throughout the week, but it is the first day of testing.
Feel free to chat in this thread about Thursday’s action. As a reminder, today is when the interior defensive linemen, edge rushers and off-ball linebackers will be performing. Below is a refresher
of the top-200 prospects at each position, including their verified heights and weights from Indianapolis, via The Draft Network. Rankings are brought to you by the consensus draft board.
Interior Defensive Linemen – Top-200
- #17: Peter Woods, Clemson (6’2.5”, 298 pounds)
- #27: Caleb Banks, Florida (6’6”, 327)
- #30: Kayden McDonald, Ohio State (6’2”, 326)
- #35: Lee Hunter, Texas Tech (6’3.5”, 318)
- #45: Christen Miller, Georgia (6’4”, 321)
- #73: Domonique Orange, Iowa State (6’2”, 322)
- #75: Darrell Jackson Jr., Florida State (6’5.5”, 315)
- #93: Dontay Corleone, Cincinnati (6’0.5”, 340)

We went over who is or isn’t a nose tackle in an article earlier this week, as that’s the position that the Green Bay Packers will likely have the most interest in. With that being said, it is interesting that Georgia’s Christen Miller, who didn’t play much nose in college, measured in at 321 pounds, larger than expected. Maybe he’s an option for Green Bay, too. Miller was previously thought of as a first-round lock, but he’s been slipping down boards recently, likely due to the rise of Caleb Banks (freak show) and Lee Hunter (who had a good all-star game performance at the Senior Bowl).
Dontay Corleone, who didn’t step on the scale at the Shrine Bowl, is officially 340 pounds. That’s also worth noting.
Your shorthand here is that guys who are in the 310+ range are generally viewed as nose tackles in this class. The one major exception, besides Miller, is Missouri’s Chris McClellan, who only played 15 percent of his total college snaps at nose tackle.

- #18: Cashius Howell, Texas A&M (6’2.5”, 253)
- #24: Akheem Mesidor, Miami (6’3”, 259)
- #29: T.J. Parker, Clemson (6’4”, 263)
- #37: Zion Young, Missouri (6’6”, 262)
- #41: R Mason Thomas, Oklahoma (6’2”, 241)
- #55: Gabe Jacas, Illinois (6’4”, 260)

- #174: Max Llewellyn, Iowa (6’6”, 258)
- #182: Vincent Anthony Jr., Duke (6’6”, 258)
Usually, the tippy top pass-rushers in the NFL run something around a 4.7-second 40-yard dash (or better) and somewhere in the ballpark of 7 seconds in three-cone (or better), with a sliding scale for a player’s weight. When the numbers start rolling out for the three-cone, keep an eye on those ranges.
Off-Ball Linebackers – Top-200
- #2: Arvell Reese, Ohio State (6’4”, 241)
- #12: Sonny Styles, Ohio State (6’5”, 244)
- #28: C.J. Allen, Georgia (6’1”, 230)
- #44: Anthony Hill Jr., Texas (6’2”, 238)
- #54: Jake Golday, Cincinnati (6’4.5”, 239)
- #62: Jacob Rodriguez, Texas Tech (6’1”, 231)
- #63: Josiah Trotter, Missouri (6’2”, 237)
- #78: Kyle Louis, Pittsburgh (6’0”, 220)
- #92: Deontae Lawson, Alabama (6’3”, 226)
- #112: Harold Perkins Jr., LSU (6’1”, 223)
- #134: Taurean York, Texas A&M (5’11”, 226)
- #139: Jaishawn Barham, Michigan (6’3.5”, 240)
- #151: Bryce Boettcher, Oregon (6’1”, 233)
- #154: Lander Barton, Utah (6’5”, 233)
- #167: Aiden Fisher, Indiana (6’1”, 232)
- #198: Keyshaun Elliott, Arizona State (6’2”, 231)
With Edgerrin Cooper locking up the Will spot moving forward (the same position Ty’Ron Hopper likely has to play due to both Cooper and Hopper being a little light), Green Bay should be in the market to find a starting Mike, either in free agency or the draft, assuming that Quay Walker leaves this offseason. When general manager Brian Gutekunst was asked about positions that need more competition in 2026, he said it was defensive back (we’re assuming he means cornerback, specifically) and “inside linebacker,” both a hint that Walker could be gone and that the team is transitioning to a 3-4.
The linebackers who are closer to 240 pounds than 230 pounds are probably more what they’re looking for at the position.
Jaishawn Barham is a weird case because he was initially an off-ball linebacker at Michigan but transitioned to the edge in 2025. He’s very undersized for the edge position at just 240 pounds. Teams have split opinions about where he’ll end up in the NFL.
Also, yes, Josiah Trotter is the son of NFL legend Jeremiah Trotter.
