The offensive big men close out the 2025 NFL Combine, so let us give the former Iowa big man some love as he prepares to compete.
Connor Colby is 6 feet, 6 inches tall, and uses his big frame to his advantage. He has great hands and has enough lateral quickness to stay in front of most rushers. As with most linemen who come from the University of Iowa, he excels at run blocking.
Colby has all the tools you look for an interior offensive lineman, but he must find the right team to put him in the right blocking scheme. He has good lateral quickness for his size, but he lacks good technique, and that will need to be masked for him to succeed.
Colby has the potential to be a second or third-round pick if the right team is on the clock. He looks to join a list of successful former Iowa offensive linemen, including Tyler Linderbaum, Tristan Wirfs and Alaric Jackson.
