Rams' Ferguson Shines Despite Combine Hype

0:00On March 4, Sean McVeigh and LesNeed skipped the 2026 NFL Draft Combine, sticking to their usual plan for the Los Angeles Rams. They believe the events hype can cloud scouting, but they still review all the key measurements and tests remotely. This approach has worked well, helping them find stars like Puka Nakua and others without showing up in person. Other teams are starting to skip it too, seeing how the Rams keep succeeding. Last year, the Rams used Combine results to draft Titan Terrence Ferguson in the second round. Many saw it as a reach, but his numbers stood out. He ran the 40 yard dash in 4.63 seconds. The fastest among Titans, with a 39 inch vertical and a 10 foot 2 broad jump. Fans and analysts wondered if the hype inflated his stock back then. Now, this year's Titan group crushed those marks across the board. Ferguson's 40 time would rank just 11th, his vertical 3rd, and broad jump 6th among this class. A new Oregon tight end, Kenyan Sadiq stole the show with a record 4.3940, a 43.5 vertical, and an in-stang.

1:0811 foot 1 broad jump. Still, Ferguson showed promise as a rookie, catching 11 passes for 231 yards and three touchdowns on limited snaps behind. As the Rams build for next season, Ferguson has a chance to prove he's still special on the field, no matter how the Combine shake out.
