00:00The Combine begins today.
00:06About to head to Indy.
00:07It's Combine time.
00:08Another guy I'm looking forward to seeing.
00:10Luther Burden, one of the top guys.
00:12I definitely think I'm preferred.
00:13You know, all the hard work I put in.
00:18To have this opportunity to, you know,
00:20be able to showcase my skills in front of the whole world.
00:23It's a great opportunity.
00:25Appreciate it.
00:26See you in Indy, man.
00:27Peace out.
00:30And we are here.
00:32The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine.
00:34It's the peak.
00:35Everything we work into.
00:36It's every kid's dream to make it to the NFL Combine
00:38and go crazy.
00:41You gotta go make it happen,
00:42so I'm gonna let it fly.
00:43Take a deep breath and game on.
00:52I'm gonna feel confident in myself.
00:53You know, confident in the work I put in.
00:55Why stop now?
01:01The Combine
01:10We're here in Indianapolis at the Combine.
01:13You know, a long flight and standing on your feet
01:16or sitting down in meetings,
01:17you gotta get the body moving,
01:18so that's what we're doing.
01:21We're throwing.
01:22We're lifting.
01:23We're covering.
01:24We got a tissue therapist, so.
01:25We're just making sure that his whole body
01:26gets a nice little flush.
01:27Just movement in all different planes
01:29so that he's ready to do what he does best.
01:31Rotate into the hip.
01:33Yeah, rotation happens on top of that.
01:35All good?
01:36Tomorrow, can we do something like that?
01:37Yeah, definitely. Right before?
01:39Great memories here in Indy.
01:41Last time we got here was the Big Ten Championship.
01:43Gabriel. Blitz coming.
01:44Got rid of it in a hurry.
01:45Touchdown!
01:46There's a winning quarterback
01:48in what it looks like.
01:49The Oregon Ducks come into the Big Ten.
01:51Number one seed.
01:53How were you able to pull off this feat?
01:55Good people.
01:56You gotta surround yourself around good people.
01:57Makes you even better.
01:5813-0. Congratulations.
01:59Thank you. Let's go.
02:01I'll tell you.
02:02Till he hit her,
02:03he has as quick a release
02:05as I've seen in a long, long time.
02:08The Oregon Ducks lay claim
02:10to a conference crown
02:11in their first Big Ten season.
02:15Yo, go to your favorite, brother.
02:17You want to know who him look like?
02:19Right now, we're in the training suite
02:21with the boys.
02:22Your best friends
02:23or your best hype man?
02:24Slash. Slash.
02:25There he is. Okay.
02:27Not bad, big fella.
02:28You know, I've been slinging it well,
02:30so I feel really good about it.
02:31Just gotta go make it happen on Saturday.
02:33Dylan Gabriel.
02:34What's up, brother?
02:35What's up, man?
02:36Alright, this is Luther.
02:37Hi, Luther.
02:38Come on in.
02:39Let's have some fun.
02:40Rotate a little.
02:41That's it. Good.
02:44A little more energy in the body.
02:46Good.
02:47And go for it.
02:48Good enough.
02:49Yeah, look up. Good.
02:50That's it.
02:51Yeah, that's the one.
02:52Good. Nice.
02:54Give me a little buzz, man.
02:56Give me a little buzz.
02:57A little feeling.
02:59Oh, look at that.
03:00Nice.
03:01Have a seat so you're facing the camera.
03:03There you go.
03:04Ratchet.
03:05A lot of fun.
03:06It's like you dream of it when you're a kid
03:07and then you're doing it.
03:10Catch.
03:13It was definitely a cool experience, you know,
03:14because I actually see it on TV, you know,
03:16when people get drafted,
03:17so I'm super blessed to, you know,
03:18be able to do it.
03:20The last couple of days, you know,
03:21we had interviews.
03:22It's definitely a long process, you know,
03:24days are long.
03:26I've been taking care of my body
03:27and speed training,
03:28mainly working on my starts.
03:31You know, getting ready to go.
03:34Real basketball.
03:37Ah!
03:40Oh.
03:41Right here.
03:42Right here.
03:43That's it.
03:44Oh.
03:50I was just taking him through
03:51some of the top of the routes,
03:52of some of the routes he will run tomorrow.
03:54Make sure he's just polished
03:55and he has that muscle memory.
03:58Tomorrow, you will be getting
03:59tracked on your gauntlet speed.
04:01Once you here, here,
04:03can't try it,
04:05no, run, you know what I mean?
04:06I expect him to crush the workout.
04:08Just crush it, you know,
04:09like when the lights are bright,
04:10Luther's going to rise to the occasion.
04:12He always has,
04:13so I don't see tomorrow
04:14being any different.
04:21Wait, do I get the elephant
04:22in the room out of the way?
04:23Let's do it.
04:24Alright.
04:25The elephant in the room
04:26is that, you know,
04:27you're 5'10 and a half,
04:28but obviously when you talk
04:29to NFL evaluators,
04:30it's a thing for them.
04:31We're the wrong NFL evaluators,
04:33and for me, every team
04:34that I've met with
04:35that I feel really good about
04:37have voiced to me
04:38they don't give a rip about it,
04:39you know, and they value me
04:40for the right things,
04:41and that's decision making,
04:42efficiency, accuracy,
04:43all things that translate.
04:44I'm a winner.
04:45I've won at all three spots,
04:47and I've done it in big games
04:48and everything in between,
04:50and then I'm a learner.
04:51You know, I know I won't know
04:52everything going into the door
04:54in the NFL.
04:55I've got a bunch of knowledge,
04:56but there's still a bunch
04:57for me to learn.
04:58You talk about that chip
04:59on your shoulder,
05:00where does that come from?
05:01It's just my mentality, man.
05:03You know, a lot of doubters
05:04out here, so, you know,
05:05I want to prove everybody wrong.
05:09Yeah, I'm running 40,
05:10and trying to run fast.
05:12Yeah, Combine's been
05:13a hectic schedule.
05:14A lot jam-packed
05:15into a little amount of time,
05:17but media's definitely
05:18got to have its time.
05:20I remember watching it on TV
05:21when I watched the draft,
05:22and now I'm doing
05:23that part of it.
05:26Great goal.
05:27It was beautiful.
05:28It's absolutely beautiful.
05:29I've played quarterback,
05:30but it's if you could play
05:31any person.
05:32What's going on, man?
05:33Michael O. Junior,
05:34nice to meet you.
05:35How's the preparation?
05:36The preparation, you know,
05:38I'm trying to make the most
05:39out of my opportunity
05:40as soon as I get it.
05:41These things, people
05:42don't know about me.
05:43I say, you know,
05:44I'm a very cultural guy.
05:45I would definitely go Megatron.
05:46Who wouldn't want to
05:47throw to Megatron?
05:53A lot of times,
05:54you're smiling and realizing
05:55that this is all
05:56coming into fruition,
05:57but still kind of in shock.
05:58Just trying to be
05:59in the moment, be present,
06:00because when I am,
06:01then I take advantage
06:02of the opportunity.
06:04We are here
06:05on a big day.
06:09Quarterbacks and wide receivers
06:11ready to take center stage.
06:13Yep, we're here.
06:16We have some
06:17legit competition.
06:18It feels even a little
06:19extra buzz, extra juice
06:20in the building this year.
06:23Hey, first off,
06:24welcome to the Combine.
06:25Now, what we all
06:26want to see here
06:27is you guys performing
06:28at your very best.
06:29Once you go,
06:30it's on tape
06:31and it's in front
06:32of 10,000 people.
06:33And there's no take-backs
06:34at all.
06:35You guys deal with me?
06:37When I go up there
06:38and I take my first snap,
06:39I'm going to let it fly,
06:40take a deep breath,
06:41and game on.
06:43Dylan Gabriel's
06:44going to get out there.
06:50That was nice.
06:51You can spin it
06:52like you watch him
06:53spin the ball.
06:57Gabriel's got a lot
06:58more arm in him
06:59than you would think.
07:00Everything he does
07:01is real compact.
07:02I wanted to see
07:03some of those
07:0420-yard window throws
07:05right there.
07:06He did that very well.
07:07Feed it in there,
07:08roll it,
07:09run through the ball,
07:10and get it finished.
07:11You guys good?
07:12Well, here's the thing
07:13about Luther Bird.
07:14He's been extremely
07:15productive at Missouri.
07:16The numbers weren't
07:17quite there last year.
07:18That doesn't mean
07:19he's still not
07:20a terrific player.
07:21Have creativity.
07:22You're selling an overlap.
07:23Before I get there,
07:24I want to show
07:25how I was told.
07:26He's electric
07:27on the field,
07:28offensively.
07:29As a left-hander,
07:30he's got a quick release.
07:31He's got quick feet.
07:32He sees things clearly.
07:33He gets the ball
07:34out of his hands
07:35and he's accurate.
07:37Let's see Dylan Gabriel.
07:38Look at that turnover.
07:40Oh!
07:42Nice throw.
07:43Oh!
07:44That was nice.
07:45I think there's always
07:46things that you want back
07:47as a competitor
07:48and want to be perfect,
07:49but inevitably,
07:50you know,
07:51there's going to be error.
07:52That's what you go through
07:53throughout a season
07:54and in a game,
07:55so you do your best
07:56and you grind
07:57and you throw it aggressive
07:58and live with the results.
08:00Had a little bit more
08:01arm strength
08:02than I anticipated.
08:03An up-and-down day
08:04for Gabriel,
08:05but overall,
08:06I think it was
08:07a solid performance.
08:12Luther Burden,
08:13the natural hands,
08:14he's got great hands.
08:16You see how strongly
08:17constructed he is?
08:18You see the body on him?
08:19He'll go up
08:20and compete for the football.
08:22That's pretty good.
08:25Once he gets in that stadium,
08:26it's just him
08:27versus the clock.
08:28And knowing the competitor
08:29Luther is,
08:30he's going to defeat
08:31the clock.
08:32Luther Burden.
08:37Oh!
08:414-4-2.
08:42That's a good time for him.
08:44Hell yeah,
08:45hell yeah.
08:47Keep calling him.
08:48Hello?
08:49I'm done.
08:50Oh!
08:52Man, I feel great, man.
08:54Thank you, God, man.
08:59Since today,
09:00how we feel?
09:01Feel good.
09:02Feel good.
09:03Really good.
09:04My proudest March 18th jersey
09:05March 28th.
09:06We'll go back to Cali
09:07if it's not working.
09:08I'm going to be going to his.
09:09He's going to be coming to mine.
09:10Support one another.
09:11Got to do our handshake.
09:18You're scooting out there.
09:19How did you feel
09:20while you were running?
09:21You know,
09:22this is the fastest time I ran ever.
09:23Were you expecting that today?
09:24Yeah, you know,
09:25I came in with a mindset,
09:26you know,
09:27I got to do it.
09:28I have a feeling
09:29we're going to see you
09:30in the NFL
09:31tearing it up here
09:32very soon.
09:33Best of luck ahead of the draft.
09:34Kind of exhausted.
09:35Going to get some good eats
09:36and, you know,
09:37chill with the family.
09:41Brady,
09:42you had a good day, bro.
09:43I did, bro.
09:44You had a good day.
09:45Mr. Speedy Gonzalez.
09:47I've been doing this all your life.
09:48How do you feel now that it's over?
09:49I feel great that it's over.
09:51You know,
09:52I've been working for this day,
09:53you know,
09:54a long time.
09:55You know,
09:56it's been a long process
09:57and going to get something to eat, man.
09:58I'm on an empty stomach.
09:59That was all on empty stomach
10:00with the camera, so.
10:01See y'all in a minute, man.
10:03Woo!
10:06Yeah,
10:07coming out of Combine,
10:08you know,
10:09it's really Swiss,
10:10just straight pro day script.
10:12Do you want to huddle
10:1313 times?
10:14Yeah,
10:15because then I can break two.
10:16Yeah,
10:17after four routes.
10:18Let's start with that.
10:19Have a bunch of guys out here
10:20just trying to get it dialed in.
10:21Got a great grasp
10:22of what we want to do.
10:23If there's any minor changes
10:24we want to have,
10:25you know,
10:26guys want to work
10:27on the right side
10:28instead of the left.
10:29Just talking through that
10:30so we're all comfortable.
10:31Eyes left.
10:32Eyes left with retreat.
10:33Oh.
10:34Here, look.
10:36Yeah.
10:37You want to slide left,
10:38not retreat?
10:39Yeah.
10:40That's it.
10:45Nice.
10:46Good.
10:47You need to have all this rhythm
10:48and flow going.
10:49I want to continue that.
10:50So,
10:51got back out here,
10:52kept training.
10:58This being the third time,
10:59coaches and scouts
11:00will really be around me
11:01throwing.
11:02A lot of it on tape
11:03may be different for people.
11:04Just want to make sure
11:05I confirm that
11:06and what they see on tape
11:07is the same
11:08when they see it on person,
11:09if not more.
11:11Yeah,
11:12had a great day training.
11:13Next up,
11:14pro day.
11:15We'll see you in Eugene.
