If Karson Sharar wasn't on the radar, he is now after a huge Combine performance

If Karson Sharar wasn't on the radar of many NFL Scouts and GMs, he is now.

Sharar patiently waited his turn behind former Hawkeye star linebackers Jay Higgins and Jack Campbell, but took full advantage of his first season as a starter last year.

While those are some big shoes to fill, Sharar showcased what he could do.

Sharar racked up a team-leading 83 total tackles (42 solo, 41 assisted) and added four sacks and a forced fumble.

Even though Sharar was only a one-year starter, he impressed NFL scouts and general managers enough to receive an invitation to the 2026 NFL Combine, and he justified that invitation.

Sharar's big day at the Combine has opened some eyes

All Iowa fans know how good Sharar is, despite only being a one-year starter, and he had such a good day during the linebackers' time on the field for drills at the Combine that he has people talking.

According to the Relative Athletic Score (RAS), Sharar finished with a 9.54/10, which ranks in the top 150 of all linebackers at the Combine since 1987.

Sharar's 9.54 ranks No. 150 out of 3,215 linebackers from 1987 to 2026.

Sharar received a great speed composite ranking after running a stellar 4.56-second 40-yard dash, and he earned an elite grade in his vertical and broad jumps.

He notched a 40" vertical jump and 10 feet , 3 inches on his broad jump, both elite for a linebacker.

Sharar's vertical jump height was so impressive that it ranked as the second-highest vertical jump by a linebacker at the Combine.

Sharar's athleticism was on full display, which is helping him quickly shoot of NFL Draft boards.
