Today was the final day of the 2025 NFL Combine, but for the Mountaineer faithful, it was Wyatt Milum day. After his performance today, it is safe to say Milum is not only NFL-ready but ready to contribute on any team that drafts him.
While the numbers are not out of this world, Milum still had an incredible day at the combine. Milum scored an overall score of 78, which puts him in 9th place amongst all Offensive tackles who participated in the combine. Milum’s production score had him ranked even higher amongst his peers as he had a production score of 81, which ranks 6th amongst Offensive Tackles in the 2025 NFL Combine. The 6’6 talent out of Kenova, West Virginia, turned many heads throughout his Senior College Football season as he managed to allow zero sacks throughout the duration of his collegiate career.
While Milum did not participate in the 3-cone-drill or bench press, he still put up impressive numbers in the main areas of evaluation. Milum jumped 9’00” feet exactly in the broad jump and recorded a 30”in vertical in the vertical jump. These scores are a mere display of not only Milum’s freakish athleticism but also the explosiveness he has in his legs that will allow him to create blocks quickly and get out into transition in the run game.
However, to succeed in the run game as an Offensive Lineman, you have to be fast, and Milum showed scouts that he has that capability. In the ten yard split Milum recorded a time of 1.84 seconds, and in the highly coveted 40-yard dash, the 313-pound behemoth ran the distance in just 5.27 seconds. This time is fourteen-tenths of a second over the average forty times for offensive linemen. However, this should not be a problem for Milum, the explosiveness he possesses provides any coaching staff a strong base to get Milum’s speed up through offseason training.
Overall, Milum had a solid performance at the NFL Combine and yet again proved to NFL scouts why he should be their selection at any given point in the draft. The projected second-round pick has passed the ball into the court of the thirty-two NFL teams, and it is now up to them on whether to pass the ball off to someone else or take the shot themselves.
