0:00It's March 22nd. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI, Your Gridiron Update. I'm Cory with the story. Oregon Titan Kenyon Sadiq is turning heads as he enters the 2026 NFL Draft Class. This 21-year-old hybrid receiver, Titan, stands 6 foot 3 and weighs 240 pounds. He shattered the Titan record with a 4.39-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, beating the old Mark set back in 2, 2006. Sadiq hails from Idaho Falls and started as a 4-star recruit with receiver skills that Oregon coaches quickly shaped into a Titan role. Over his college career, he lined up all over the formation, from inline to slot and even out wide, becoming a key part of their passing game in the Pac-12, analysts love his explosive speed and smooth moves that make him tough for linebackers and safeties to cover. He excels as separating from defenders, tracking deep balls and turning short catches into

His route running relies more on athleticism than polish right now, but teams see huge upside-emotion, heavy offenses. With Tampa Bay's number 15 pick on opening night this Thursday, April 23rd in Pittsburgh, and their new offensive coordinator, Zach. Robinson calling plays, Sadiq could be a perfect mismatch weapon to boost their attack.
