2026 NFL Combine

The football players on scholarships would go to hedge funds?
The guys that didn't get a chance to play but also had no apparatus in place to transfer without having to sit out a season. They would be graduating.

Another factor is all the guys with extra COVID eligibility are graduating.
 
TE Forty Run 1

Dallen Bentley, Utah - 4.65
Josh Cuevas, Bama - 4.68
Khalil Dinkins, Penn - 4.73
Jack Endries, Tex - 4.68

RJ Maryland, SMU - 4.52
Riley Nowakowski, Ind - 4.66
Eli Raridon, ND - 4.62
Sam Roush, STAN - 4.70
Kenyon Sadiq, Ore - 4.40 (locked in first round grade)
Bauer Sharp, LSU - 4.63
Eli Stowers, Vandy - 4.51

Average/solid class except for Sadiq & Stowers.
 
I was fairly late on Hibner but he impressed me.

 
I would be content if they ended up at 31, but I am equally happy with Kenyon Sadiq and Dillon Thieneman putting up ridiculous numbers and pushing OT and EDGE options down to us.
 
He needs to clean up his hands but Sam Roush is interesting.



 
I think we can forget about TE Eli Stowers, most likely the 2nd TE drafted behind Sadiq. Before the the combine, I thought there was going to be only ONE first round TE, but I think Stowers goes 1st round.

That being said, there are A LOT of athletic and fast TE’s with good speed, some with size and speed combos. Raridon ran really well and he’s BIG. Gyllenborg the Cyborg ran really well. Several others under 4.7, some under 4.6.
 
Fine with me if Stowers moves up. Was always going higher than I would take him, will just push more folks down.

13 TE’s ran under a 4.7. That’s really good. Even Nowakowski, who people look at as a fullback or H-Back, ran a quick 4.66. I like guys like Raridon, Gyllenborg, Koziol & Klein for the Pats.

Which if these guys who ran a sub 4.7 are as good a blocker as Kacmarek in both the run and passing games?
 
Today Christmas comes early for the Cult of Verticality.

The bar has been set very high by the first 2 days.
