I put in the 49ers thread, but Deebo’s combine results were very similar to what Higgins just put out today. And Higgins is 4” taller.
2025 NFL Draft
- Thread starter SolterraCyclone
- Start date
That would be shocking if he went in the first honestly. I’d guess mid second, but wouldn’t be overly shocked if he went early second. I think he’s viewed primarily as a slot, which would make him limited in some gms eyes. I certainly think he is talented enough to go in the first, I’d just be surprised if it happened
Noel had a really good day. Hope he finds himself on a competent offense with a good QB.
Noel listed as one of 7 "risers" on this SI article:

NFL Combine Day 3 Risers and Fallers: Quarterbacks, Receivers and Running Backs
Most of the QB prospects failed to improve their draft stock Saturday—with one notable exception. Several wide receivers stuck out, however.

Not to pick on him here, but he definitely means RJ Harvey. Kj Jefferson was the starting QB for UCF that got benched before our game against them.
Noel benched 23 reps of 225, the most among CBs, RBs, Safeties, and WRs
I’m so happy for Jaylin. He deserves the best.
And he played in the bowl game
And this isn't a knock of Higgins or Porter AT ALL. They are amazing and I'm so happy both of them had a great combine as well. Everyone deserves the right to make the best decision they can for themselves.
But it does make me happy that Jaylin didn't have any consequences from playing.
Just watched the video of Noel doing his bench press test. Anyone else remember the offensive PI call he was called for and the back and forth between him and the defender? Yeah he was referencing what we saw at the combine haha. Let’s go!
They've been incredibly slow in the combine.
That number doesn't even make sense. At 194lb. 4 more than the 2nd best receiver. Insanity.
Noel just put up the best combine performance of any Iowa State player in history.
He did great, but Porter had a all time great performance. Rated as the 4th most athletic corner since the 80s
If you’re dealing with an injury, you just don’t run—and wait for your pro day.
Like Verdon. Or TJ.
Running despite an injury is dumb, and does you zero favors.
I’m surprised Johnson didn’t run faster. He had a ton of home runs this year.
