The 2025 NFL Combine is officially in the books, and it was another big weekend for Georgia football. In total, 14 Bulldogs were invited to the Combine, but only 12 participated, and those 12 Bulldogs took full advantage of the opportunity to show NFL organizations what they are made of.
But there were a few Bulldogs who stood out the most, so let's jump right in and discuss the four Bulldogs who had the best performances at the Combine this year.
Offensive Line
Easily the most impressive performances at the Combine this year came from Georgia's offensive line. This is a bit shocking to the average fan because the Bulldogs' offensive line struggled a lot this psat season, but this group came to play on Sunday at the Combine.
Georgia had four lineman participate on Sunday, but it was center Jared Wilson and guard Tate Ratledge who shined the most. There's one score we can look at that shows how great both Wilson and Ratledge were, and that is the RAS score. This score looks at all the drills and workouts each player does and calculates a score out of 10. Wilson scored a 9.98 which is the second best score ever for a center since 1987.
Not too far behind Wilson was Ratledge who scored a 9.97 which is the fifth best score from an offensive guard since 1987.
These two players needed to have a great performance at the Combine, and they both clearly did. As a result they both should see their draft stocks soar heading into the Draft in April.
Wide Receivers
Georgia wide receivers Arian Smith and Dominic Lovett also performed very well at the Combine as well. Everyone knows that Georgia led the nation in drops this past season, so that is a stigma both players needed to get off their backs at the Combine.
Their performances may not have been as strong as the already mentioned offensive lineman, but they were not far behind. Both Smith and Lovett finished in the top 11 in the 40-yard dash for their position and also set a program record in the process. They both also did extremely well in the on-field portion of the Combine, which includes the always talked about gauntlet.

Georgia has their Pro Day coming up later in March where NFL scouts will flock to Athens to watch UGA's players go through similar workouts again. Everyone obvoiusly needs to have a great showing during the Pro Day, but Smith and Lovett arguably need to continue to have some of the best performances so they can put the negatives of last season behind them.
