K-State’s DJ Giddens Puts Together Historic Combine Performance
A player that Big 12 fans are incredibly familiar with, Kansas State’s DJ Giddens is getting his shine on a national stage.
At the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, Giddens dominated drills and tests and ran a blazing fast 4.43 40-yard dash, which has NFL scouts in a frenzy over his upside.
Giddens finished second among all running backs in the broad jump at 10’10”, second in the vertical jump at 39’50”, and sixth in 40-yard dash at 4.43.
While Giddens’ incredible career at Kansas State proved his ability to tote the rock, many scouts feared that the Kansas native lacked significant top-end speed. Expected to finish in the 4.5 to 4.6 range, Giddens improved his draft stock heavily with his combine performance and many on social media are noticing.
