When Armand Membou arrived in Indianapolis for the NFL Combine, he came with sky-high expectations as one of the top-rated offensive linemen in the 2025 draft. Not only did the Mizzou product meet those expectations, he surpassed them, producing historic splits.
Membou, listed at 6-foot-4 and 332 pounds, saw his draft stock rise after announcing his commitment to the NFL Draft two months ago. After his combine performance, it seems unlikely he will fall outside the top 10 picks on draft night.
When the Kansas City native's name was called, he delivered. Membou posted a 4.91-second 40-yard dash, the fastest time for any player of his size since 2003.

The impressive combine performance didn't end there. In addition to running the second-fastest 40-yard dash of any offensive lineman, Membou also posted a 9-foot, 7-inch broad jump and tied for fourth with a 34-inch vertical jump.
The splits from his performance were extraordinary, and Membou's athleticism was off the charts. Mizzou's offensive line coach, Brandon Jones, spent a significant amount of time helping Membou develop technically, but his athleticism has always spoken for itself.
Membou finished the combine atop the field of linemen alongside his training partner and soon-to-be fellow first-round pick, Will Campbell.
Overall, Membou's combine ranked among the best ever recorded by an offensive lineman based on statistical measurements.

Analytics suggest Membou could be the first offensive lineman drafted in Green Bay come April, but only time will tell how high he might land.
Membou seems like a surefire top-10 selection, but with his raw potential, it's crucial that the right team moves to draft him and develops him into a premier offensive lineman, whether at tackle or guard.
