The NFL<\/a> Combine has gotten underway with players meeting the various teams and sitting down for team and media interviews. Coaches, general managers, team owners, and several key people involved in a franchise are present to see what the future looks like. However, today will be the all-important on-field drills for all those defensive linemen who have been selected for the 2025 NFL Combine<\/a>. <\/p>

Who Are The Top Defensive Linemen At This Year’s NFL Combine?<\/h2>

At the edge position, one name clearly stands out head and shoulders above the rest and that is Abdul Carter who is heavily favored to be drafted in the top 5 if not number one overall. Unfortunately, though, the Penn State Nittany Lion defender will not be able to do the on-field drills as he is still recovering from a shoulder injury.<\/p>

1) Mason Graham – Defensive Tackle<\/h3>

Defensive tackle Mason Graham is probably the number one prospect at his position on most people’s list. Graham has played three years for the Michigan Wolverines football team where he became the CFP National Champion in 2023. He was a unanimous All-American and the Rose Bowl Defensive MVP in 2024 and is a 2-time first-team All-Big Ten. <\/p>

Graham is quick off the line and his lack of size and length is an advantage when it comes to speed as he can attack guards before they settle into position. His size does not stop him from being physical and he has the strength to control blocks. <\/p>

2) Walter Nolen – Defensive Tackle<\/h3>

Another defensive tackle to keep an eye out for at the Combine is Walter Nolen. He played two years of collegiate football for the Texas A&M Aggies football team in 2022 and 2023 before transferring to the Ole Miss Rebels in 2024. <\/p>

Nolen is explosive after the snap and his speed and talent allow him to shoot the gaps and disrupt the backfield. Although he does not display any wow factor like physical abilities, he has an effective game against both the run and the pass. <\/p>

3) Shemar Stewart – Defensive End<\/h3>

Shemar Stewart is a defensive end who has been playing on the Texas A&M Aggies football team since 2022. Stewart has great size and explosiveness to go along with it. His big frame and long arms in combination with his strength are a huge advantage against offensive linemen. Despite being 6 foot 6 and 290 pounds, Stewart is quite athletic and is able to transition quickly from speed to power. <\/p>

4) Nic Scourton – Defensive End<\/h3>

Defensive end Nic Scourton who played for the Purdue Boilermakers in 2022 and 2023 transferred to Texas A&M for the 2024 season. Scourton has a great balance of size and aggression and he can slip across the blockers into the gaps with ease. He is capable of giving different looks and forces the offense to double team him. Scourton’s NFL comparison is Trey Hendrickson which is saying something. <\/p>

5) Mike Green – Defensive End<\/h3>

Defensive end Mike Green played his college football first with the Virginia Cavaliers football team and then transferred to the Marshall Thundering Herd in 2023. In 2024 he earned First-team All-American, Sun Belt Player of the Year, and First-team All-Sun Belt honors. He is one of the biggest risers this year and plays a very physical brand of football. <\/p>

6) James Pearce Jr. – Defensive End<\/h3>

James Pearce Jr. is a highly gifted defensive end who played three years for the Tennessee Volunteers from 2022-2024. He is said to have a high ceiling and has room to grow despite his 6-foot-5-inch frame. He knows his way around protection and has great instincts allowing him to win around the edge. <\/p>

7) Mykel Williams – Defensive End<\/h3>

Mykel Williams is a defensive end who played for the Georgia Bulldogs from 2022. He is a CFP national champion in 2022 and a two-time Second-team All-SEC in 2023 and 2024. Williams is quick off the blocks and explosive off the line with impressive speed despite his size. His length allows him to get extensions on offensive linemen and tight ends. Williams is a player with a high ceiling who can excel in the NFL with the right guidance. <\/p>
