- Assessing Jamaree Caldwell's performance at the 2024 NFL Combine
The 2025 NFL Combine got underway for the Oregon Ducks on Thursday, with senior defensive lineman Jamaree Caldwell leading the way, hitting the field for some drills and getting his measurables taken.
Caldwell looked very strong, shedding about 10 pounds over the past month since the Reese's Senior Bowl, which was been a goal of his this offseason. While his numbers didn't stack up next to the top of the position in terms of interior defensive linemen, Caldwell's tape speaks for itself in his one year with the Ducks , and will still land him with an NFL team this spring despite his relatively mediocre 40-yard dash times and vertical jump numbers.

In the end, Caldwell received a solid combine score of 6.19, with the tag of "good backup with the potential to develop into a starter," according to NFL.com
Here is a look at the final numbers from the NFL combine for Caldwell.
Measurables

Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 332 pounds
Hand Size: 9 3/8 inches
Arm Length: 32 inches
40-yard Dash
Time: 5.17 seconds
Rank at Position: 16th of 19 Players
While it may not seem impressive to rank 16th out of 19 players, Caldwell actually turned in a great time for his size and will walk away happy with the result. At 332 pounds, there aren't many times in his career where Caldwell will have to run 40 yards on a dead sprint.

Nebraska 's Ty Robinson ran the fastest 40-yard dash among defensive linemen at 4.83 seconds.
10-Yard Split

Official Split Time: 1.86 seconds
Rank at Position: 17th of 20 Players
Much like his overall 40-time, Caldwell wasn't the quickest off of the ball, but as an interior defensive lineman who thrives on moving people off of their spot at wreaking havoc in rushing lanes, this isn't a major concern.
SMU DL Jared Harrison-Hunte had the fastest 10-yard split at 1.69 seconds. He had the third-fastest overall 40-time at 4.87 seconds.
Vertical Jump

Official Measurement: 27.0"
Rank at Position: 23rd of 28 players

Not a great measurement for Caldwell, who was in the bottom third of all defensive linemen when it comes to vertical.
Georgia DL Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins led the way with a vertical jump of 36.00"
