Speed takes over Day 4 as Sadiq leads a blistering 2026 NFL Combine

Day 4 of the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine showcased elite speed across the board, led by Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq’s 4.39-second 40, with the defensive groups posting record speeds (defensive line 4.87, linebackers 4.55, defensive backs 4.44) and tight ends posting the fastest average among the offense. Eli Stowers (Vanderbilt) posted a 45.5-inch vertical, a 4.51 40 and an 11-foot-3 broad jump; Kadyn Proctor discussed aiming for 350-355 pounds; Lorenzo Styles Jr. led a sub-4.4 safety group (Styles 4.27, Spears-Jennings 4.32, Stukes 4.33, Thieneman 4.35). Thieneman’s 4.35 and other fast times boosted first-round chatter, while Connor Lew shared a beach-snapping origin story and Georgia tackle Monroe Freeling highlighted yoga’s benefits for injury prevention and mobility.

Record-Breaking Speed and Versatility Define the 2026 TE Combine

At the 2026 NFL Combine, the tight end group impressed with depth and versatility: Kenyon Sadiq set a tight-end combine record with a 4.39-second 40, while five prospects—Sam Roush (Stanford), Max Klare (Ohio State), Martin Klein (Michigan), Nate Boerkircher (Texas A&M), and Tanner Koziol (Houston)—showcased a blend of blocking, catching, and route-running. The Lions are seeking balanced tight ends who can create matchup advantages, with Roush viewed as a fit for immediate TE2 upside, Klein as upside production, and Koziol and Boerkircher flashing potential in big-slot and hands, while Klare demonstrated strong receiving but mixed blocking and drill results.

DBs and TEs steal the show on Day 2 at the 2026 NFL Combine

Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis highlighted standout showings from defensive backs and tight ends as several prospects posted elite athletic marks. Stock-ups included Daylen Everette (4.38 40, 37.5-inch vertical), John Michael Gyllenborg (4.60 40), Chris Johnson (4.40 40), Toriano Pride Jr. (4.32 40), Kenyon Sadiq (4.39 40), Lorenzo Styles Jr. (4.27 40) and Dillon Thieneman (4.35 40). Three players undercut the buzz a bit and will need solid pro days to lift their stock: Davison Igbinosun, Max Klare and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren. The event underscored how fast and explosive drills at Lucas Oil Stadium can reshape a prospect’s draft outlook, especially for DBs and TEs.
