INDIANAPOLIS — It’s Thursday of NFL combine week, which means prospect measurements and on-field workouts are officially underway. The schedule is as follows:

  • Thursday: EDGE, DL and LB
  • Friday: TE and DB
  • Saturday: QB, RB and WR
  • Sunday: OL

In the morning, players will log official measurements, including height, weight, wingspan, arm length and hand size. In the afternoon, they’ll participate in on-field testing — including the 40-yard dash, vertical and broad jumps and bench press — before wrapping up with positional drills inside Lucas Oil Stadium.

As in past years, not every prospect will participate. Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza, widely viewed as the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, has already mentioned he won’t throw in Indianapolis, opting instead to do so at Indiana’s pro day on April 1. Miami EDGE Rueben Bain Jr. — the No. 2 prospect in CBS Sports draft analyst Mike Renner’s rankings – also won’t work out, per Todd McShay.

There has been some positive news on the participation front, however. The following top prospects are expected to compete in some capacity: Ohio State EDGE Arvell Reese (No. 3 in Renner’s rankings), Ohio State LB Sonny Styles (No. 10), Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love (No. 16) and Texas Tech EDGE David Bailey (No. 19).

From arm length to 40 times, we’ve got you covered with every official measurement and testing number as they come in from Indianapolis.

EDGE measurement takeaways

Concerns

  • We knew Rueben Bain Jr.’s arms were going to measure short, but his 30⅞-inch arms rank as the fourth-shortest among edge rushers since 1999, per MockDraftable. His 77⅜-inch wingspan isn’t ideal, either; only 19 edge rushers in the MockDraftable database (since 1999) have measured shorter. Bain will still be a first-round pick — likely in the top 10 — but teams with strict length thresholds could be wary of those numbers.
  • Cashius Howell, Mike Renner’s No. 24 prospect in this class, has even shorter arms than Bain at 30¼ inches — the shortest of any edge rusher since 1999, per MockDraftable. However, the reigning SEC Defensive Player of the Year doesn’t believe his historically short arms will prevent him from being productive in the NFL. “Those are just the cards that I’ve been dealt,” Howell mentioned during Wednesday’s podium session. “I’m going to do everything in my power to perfect my technique and perfect my craft in whatever way possible.”

Can star Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. overcome physical limitations?
