What Penn State football players are at the 2025 NFL combine? A complete list
Penn State football players showcase their talents ahead of 2024 NFL Draft
Top players, including Chop Robinson, Olu Fashanu and Theo Johnson, put their skills on display for NFL scouts inside Holuba Hall Friday morning.
- Five former Penn State football players are attending the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
- Defensive end Abdul Carter, a potential No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, will not participate in on-field drills due to a shoulder injury.
- Tight end Tyler Warren is hoping a strong performance at the combine will solidify him as a Top 10 draft pick.
Five former Penn State football players, including a couple of possible Top 10 draft picks, are attending this week’s annual NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
But not all of them expect to work out and test in front of pro personnel.
Defensive end Abdul Carter and tight end Tyler Warren headline a Penn State combine contingent that also includes linebacker Kobe King and safeties Jaylen Reed and KJ Winston.
However, Carter, the potential No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, will forgo on-field drills today as he recovers from a shoulder injury suffered during the College Football Playoff. While Carter will not participate in position drills, he is expected to go through medical tests and interview with the NFL’s 32 teams.
Rather, he plans to do all of his workouts and testing at Penn State’s annual Pro Day in late March. This could be a similar situation for Winston, who suffered a knee injury last summer and only played in Penn State’s first two games. His recovery and Friday workout status in Indianapolis is still unclear.
Meanwhile, a strong Friday workout performance from Warren could help solidify him as a Top 10 draft pick in April and one of the highest tight ends ever selected.
