With the NFL<\/a> Combine already underway, players have started meeting with teams where they have been interviewed. Some players have also done media interviews and will now get down to the physical part of the Combine<\/a>. Today, we will see the linebackers take the field for their on-field workouts. <\/p>

Which Linebackers Should Be Watched Closely At the 2025 NFL Combine?<\/h2>

The NFL Combine is packed with over 300 collegiate prospects and out of that, the Combine committee has invited 29 linebackers. Here, we will take a brief look at the cream of the crop at this position.<\/p>

1) Jalon Walker<\/h3>

 Linebacker Jalon Walker has been part of the Georgia Bulldogs football team since 2022. There are increasing reports that Walker may not partake in the on-field drills, but if he does do so, then he will be another player worth watching. He is explosive and has a good turn on tight corners allowing him to disrupt the backfield. Walker is considered to be a hybrid type of player who can excel at the edge or as a linebacker. <\/p>

2) Jihaad Campbell<\/h3>

Jihaad Campbell is probably the number-one linebacker in this year’s draft class. Campbell played three years of college football for the Alabama Crimson Tide from 2022-2024 and earned the First-team All-SEC honor this past year. He is a good reader of the situation knowing when a threat may be nearby and also has the knack of reading the quarterback. At just 21 years of age, the youngster still has lots of potential to improve. <\/p>

3) Carson Schwesinger<\/h3>

Linebacker Carson Schwesinger has been a member of the UCLA Bruins football team since 2021. In 2024 he earned First-team All-American and First-team All-Big Ten honors. He has great instincts that enable him to avoid blocks and has amazing athleticism. Schwesinger is one of the biggest risers this year as he wasn’t even a starter when the 2024 season began. <\/p>

4) Barrett Carter<\/h3>

Linebacker Barrett Carter played for the Clemson Tigers from 2021-2024. He earned Second-team All-ACC honors in 2023 and First-team All-ACC in 2024. Carter gained some muscle but that didn’t make him compromise on his speed. He is quite agile and is great at changing directions on the run. One of the better coverage linebackers, Carter can play man easily on running backs and tight ends. <\/p>

5) Chris Paul Jr.<\/h3>

Chris Paul Jr. played linebacker for the Arizona Razorbacks from 2021 to 2023 before transferring to Ole Miss in 2024. He was honored with the USA Today first-team All-American in 2024. Here is another linebacker who has good coverage skills and is willing to do the dirty work. Paul very rarely finds himself in traffic and has a good understanding of when to attack and when to be patient. <\/p>

6) Danny Stutsman<\/h3>

Linebacker Danny Stutsman has played his entire collegiate football career with the Oklahoma Sooners from 2021. He was First-team All-Big 12 in 2023 and First-team All-SEC as well as Consensus All-American in 2024. Stutsman has the ability to develop into a quality linebacker in the NFL. He moves quite well in spite of his size at the position. He has good speed whether running sideline to sideline or charging downfield as well as the ability to change direction quickly. <\/p>

7) Smael Mondon Jr.<\/h3>

Smael Mondon Jr. played linebacker for the Georgia Bulldogs from 2021 to 2024. With the Bulldogs, he became a two-time CFP National Champion and earned Second-team All-SEC honors in 2023. Some of his plus points include his ability to break up passes, reliable tackling technique, and athleticism. He has the chance to develop into a great coverage linebacker and a better run blocker at the NFL level. <\/p>\n
