The 2025 NFL Combine wrapped up in Indy on Sunday and the Terps had social media buzzing throughout the weekend. Maryland was represented by five players: DL Tommy Akingbesote, WR Tai Felton, DL Jordan Phillips, WR Kaden Prather and DB Dante Trader Jr.
The Terps went through interviews with key NFL decision makers, met with the media and worked out on the field. Let's take a look back at the weekend that was at the NFL Combine!

The All-American didn't disappoint during his day on the field on Saturday. Felton, who led the Big Ten in receptions and receiving yards during the 2025 regular season, showed off his speed and jumping ability during drills. Amongst all wide receivers at the combine, Felton's 40-yard dash time (4.37s) ranked sixth, his vertical jump (39.50") was fourth best and his broad jump (10'10") ranked fifth.

Kaden Prather also took to the field on Saturday and showed off his size and speed. Prather measured in at 6-foot-3.5, 204-lbs and ran a solid 4.46 40-yard dash. His 10-yard split clocked in at 1.53 seconds and he had a vertical jump of 30.00" and broad jump of 9'6".
