Kenyon Sadiq had one of the most impressive performances at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, cementing his position as a potential first-round pick.
The former Oregon Ducks tight end set a combined record by running the 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
The previous tight end record of 4.40 was held by Vernon Davis. The next fastest tight end time this year was 4.51, posted by SMU’s RJ Maryland and Vanderbilt’s Eli Stowers.
Sadiq’s 43.5-inch vertical ranked second behind Stowers, who recorded 45.5 inches. In the broad jump, Sadiq recorded a distance of 3.5 meters and again finished just behind Stowers at 11-3.
Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman also stood out. His 4.35-yard 40-yard dash ranked fourth among safeties, while his 41-inch vertical jump was second-best at his position.
He added a broad jump of 10-5, which finished in eighth place.
Thieneman came into the mix as a projected late first-round pick. After his strong testing numbers, he may have secured a spot in the opening round.
