3) Dart, Milroe to throw on Saturday. With Miami’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders — the consensus top two quarterbacks in this year’s draft — not planning to participate in Saturday’s QB workout, the door is wide open for someone from the next tier of passers to use the showcase to their advantage.

Could Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart or Alabama’s Jalen Milroe put on a show? Both players confirmed on Friday that they plan to throw on Saturday. Milroe — who has blazing speed — indicated he has not made a final decision on whether to run the 40-yard dash at the combine.

As for Dart, he passed on an opportunity to declare himself the draft’s top QB on Friday, but he did tell reporters his intangibles — something the on-field workout at the combine can’t truly capture — could be his greatest strength.

“I’m very confident with the player that I am and I feel like I can do whatever it takes for a team to win,” Dart said. “I feel like I’m somebody who is a culture and organization changer by the way that I go out there. I’ve had success at every level I’ve been. I’ve been able to win at a rate that hadn’t been done before at the school that I was just at. Like I said, I think there’s a lot of great quarterbacks out here. We all have different skill sets and things that separate us, but for me, I feel like the intangibles are what I bring to an organization that kinda set me apart.”

4) New 40 king to be crowned? Will Xavier Worthy‘s NFL Scouting Combine 40-yard dash record fall after only one year?

That is certainly part of Texas WR Isaiah Bond‘s plan. He boldly predicted on Friday that he’ll best Worthy’s mark of 4.21 seconds on Saturday, when the receivers take the field at the combine.

“I’m going to break the record tomorrow for sure,” Bond told reporters. “I anticipate running 4.20 or possibly, if I’m feeling great, I might run a 4.1.”

Seeing one Longhorn’s record fall to another former Texas star would be quite a moment, and not a complete shock — Bond is one of the fastest prospects at the combine and posted “4.20 next year” to Instagram not long after Worthy broke the record a year ago.

We’ll find out on Saturday if Bond called his shot.

5) Jeanty planning to attend draft. There are a wide range of potential 2025 NFL Draft destinations for Ashton Jeanty, which makes him one of the most interesting prospects to watch leading up to the start of Round 1 on April 24.

The Boise State running back is clearly one of the top talents available this year, ranking third in NFL.com draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah’s top 50 prospects. He came within 28 yards of breaking Barry Sanders’ NCAA record for single-season rushing yards in 2024 (2,601). No running back has been selected in the top five since Saquon Barkley went second overall in 2018, though, and Jeremiah had Jeanty falling to the Steelers at No. 21 in his most recent mock draft.

Despite the uncertainty about how long he’ll have to wait before he’s picked, Jeanty told reporters on Friday that he plans to attend the draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

“You only get drafted one time, to be there, to be in the green room, get your name called and walk across the stage with all your family there, it’s a special opportunity,” he said.

Jeanty said the Bears, Bengals, Broncos and Raiders are among the teams he has met with here at the combine. Asked about the possibility of playing for Denver — which holds the 20th pick — Jeanty sounded like a player willing to embrace any Round 1 outcome.

“I would hope I don’t fall that far, but if that happens, I wouldn’t have no problem playing for the Denver Broncos,” he said.
