The NFL Draft is just around the corner this month and NFL teams are meeting privately with their favorite prospects for the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft.

The Denver Broncos recently held a top-30 pre-draft visit with former Indiana Hoosier linebacker Jailin Walker ,according to 9NEWS insider Mike Klis.

"Per source, Broncos held one of their 30 visits with Indiana LB Jailin Walker," Klis reported Friday, March 28. "He’s light at 218 but can run and is athletic per his Pro Day performance in long jump and vertical. Gotta chance to be a special teams standout early and take it from there."

Indiana linebacker Jailin Walker declared for the NFL Draft back on Jan 8th, forgoing his sixth year senior season.

Walker who transferred from James Madison Univ. was second among Hoosiers with 72 tackles, he also had nine tackles for loss to go along with two sacks and two interceptions in 2024.

At James Madison under Curt Cignetti he appeared in 32 games with 20 starts over three seasons totaling 139 tackles, 9.5 TFL, 3.5 sacks and 5 forced fumbles.

Walker did not receive an invitation to last month's NFL Scouting Combine but performed well at his Pro Day with a 35-inch vertical jump and 10-foot-7-inch broad jump.

The NFL Draft takes place April 24th through Saturday April 26th, 2025.
