NFL Draft Surprise: Kenyon Sadiq to Jets

0:00On April 24th, former Oregon Ducks Titan Kenyon Sadiq got the surprise of his life in the first round of the NFL draft. The New York Jets called him up as the 16th overall pick, a team nobody saw coming for him at that spot. That suspicion made total sense after what happened last year was Shader Sanders. The former Colorado quarterback got pranked by a fake call pretending to be from the New Roman Saints, saying he was an early pick. Instead, Sanders fell to the 5th round with the Cleveland Browns. When Sadiq picked up and heard the Jets, he straight up thought it was another joke. Jets' head coach, Aaron Glinn, had to set him straight, laughing. When not pranking you, brother, you're going to be a Jets. Now Sadiq is locked in with New York, catching passes from Geno Smith this season. Looking ahead, the Jets could land a top pick in the 2027 draft, setting up big changes at quarterback. It's wild how one call flipped the script for Sadiq, turning doubt into a prime spot in the league. This has been NFL News Today, powered by AI.
