Jalen Rivers 2025 NFL Combine Results and Draft Profile
In this story:
Rivers is 6-foot-5, 331 pounds, and you can't teach that. Because of that reason alone, he will be NFL-bound and could end up being selected in the 2025 NFL Draft earlier than many are projecting. His versatility makes him an interesting prospect because many teams value an offensive anchor that they can use both inside and outside if needed. Scheme fit will play a major part in who drafts him and how successful he is on the next level. However, he is a massive man who you can stick at both guard and tackle who can just eat up even the biggest of defenders. The value in that is a huge deal in the NFL. We'd project him as an instant key backup role player who can fill in when needed on the line with the potential to develop into a solid starter. If he does become a starter, he has more upside as a guard than a tackle in the pros.
