"There is nothing tricky about his rush, but he can jar blockers backward with a single punch."

Farmer tested in the middle of the pack compared to the other defensive tackle participants. He placed 11th in the 40-yard dash, 12th in the 10-yard split, 18th in the vertical jump, and 7th in the broad jump. He is slated to compete in the bench press portion of the combine on February 28.

The Florida native did earn plenty of praise for his 40-yard dash time at his size and his performance during the on-field drills. The NFL Network analysts constantly highlighted Farmer throughout the broadcast.
