- Invited to 2005 NFL Combine; Participated in the 2005 Senior Bowl.
- Senior Bowl: "Nebraska LB Barrett Ruud, according to all our outside sources, was the most impressive LB in Mobile last week. He showed up in great shape and showed athletic ability that exceeded what NFL teams were expecting. Great collegiate LB, who needed to show he was more than just a "tough-nosed" LB stopping the run. Definitely showed that at the Senior Bowl....He's probably a real solid 2nd round pick now, but a terrific workout at the combine or Pro Day, could get close to the edge of round 1. Oakland, Kansas City, New Orleans and Houston are among the teams definitely looking closely at Ruud.... At 6-1.7 and 240 pounds, was the 2nd biggest LB at the game." (DraftDaddy.com)
- From Mel Kiper: 1/32 New England - Barrett Ruud, LB: His speed and athletic ability made him Nebraska's all-time leading tackler and Ruud would help the Patriots get younger at a key position, a big key with the health of Teddy Bruschi in question.
- Pro Day report from Gil Brandt of NFL.com: LB Barrett Ruud LB ran 4.72 and 4.75 in his 40s and did 7.08 in the three-cone drill.
- Pro Day report from KFFL: 4.72 and 4.75 40 times; 7.08 three-cone drill.
