Miami Hurricanes Shine at 2025 NFL Combine, Sam Brown Steals the Show

The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine took place over the course of late last week and last weekend. The Miami Hurricanes football team had plenty of representation at the event. It was a strong showing for the Canes' players, with a few guys standing out above the rest.

It was wide receiver Sam Brown who did the most to improve his draft stock with impressive results across the board. Running back Damien Martinez also posted some extremely impressive scores for a back his size. You could see him climb early into Day 2 after his performance.

Scouts had to like what they saw out of defensive standouts linebacker Francisco Mauigoa and edge rusher Tyler Baron as well. Both had a strong week and showed scouts what they wanted to see.

The only Hurricane who didn't quite live up to expectations and may have hurt his draft stock a bit is wide receiver Jacolby George, who showed a lack of explosion with poor vertical and broad jumps. It's also worth noting that while projected first-overall pick Cam Ward did attend the combine and interviewed with teams, he did not participate in any throwing drills.
