2026 NFL Draft Stock Up
Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State
Styles was an instant star of the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine. From his time at Ohio State, Styles was known to be a freak athlete with an amazing skill set, but he put it on display with a tremendous combine performance. The 6-foot-5, 244-pounder had an incredible 40-yard dash time of 4.46 seconds. He also had excellent jumps with 43.5 on the vertical and 11-2 on the broad. Sources also told me that Styles interviewed well in Indianapolis. Styles could go in the top-10 after his tremendous combine performance.
Lorenzo Styles, CB/S, Ohio State
Styles did not have a productive college career, as he finished with 47 tackles, six passes broken up, and zero interceptions over the past three seasons. However, Styles was phenomenal at the NFL Scouting Combine. At 6-foot-1, 194 pounds, he had an electric 40-yard dash time of 4.27 seconds. He showed an explosion in the vertical jump as well. Styles improved his chances of going earlier on day three of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame
Running backs can slide in the NFL Draft, but Love made headway against that trend at the combine. Love was one of the best players in college football the past two years, and at the combine, he showed his impressive skill set. At 6-foot, 212 pounds, Love had an excellent 40-yard dash time of 4.36 seconds. He showed his breakaway speed and explosion. After his combine performance, Love has a real shot at going in the top-5 this April.
Mike Washington Jr., RB, Arkansas
Washington continued his excellent post-season with his combine performance. A few weeks ago, team sources raved about how Washington looked at the Senior Bowl. At 6-foot-1, 223 pounds, Washington had a tremendous 40-yard dash time of 4.33 seconds. That is very fast for a big power back, and Washington is climbing on the second day of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
Sadiq was the only tight end prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft who was considered to be a potential first-round pick, and he locked that in with an excellent combine workout. Sadiq ran the fastest 40 time for a tight end since 2003 with an electric time of 4.39 seconds. Sadiq has a mismatch in size against pro defensive backs at 6-foot-3, 241 pounds, and now he shows elite speed. Sadiq is worthy of going in the top 16, but positional need and the value of a tight end will impact how he goes.
Taylen Green, QB, Arkansas
Green had a legendary combine workout for a quarterback prospect. At 6-foot-6, 227 pounds, Green shocked with a 4.36 time in the 40-yard dash. Green was expected to work out well, as it was clear from college that he had a lot of physical talent, but that time at that size is elite for a wide receiver. Green should strongly consider moving to receiver in the NFL. His combine workout will help him to get drafted on day three as he is a developmental project with a lot of talent and upside.
2025 NFL Draft Stock Down
Denzel Boston, WR, Washington
Team sources said they were not impressed with how Boston looked in the field work at the combine. They felt that Boston’s field work looked more like a second-rounder rather than a pick in the back half of the first round. Boston needs to rebound at his pro day and in pre-draft workouts to help more teams give him first-round consideration.
