Draft Profile: Bio
Kenyon Sadiq from Skyline Senior High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Sadiq opted to join Oregon.In 2023 as a freshman Sadiq saw action in 9 games for the Ducks as he made 5 receptions for just 24 yards for an average of 4.8 yards per reception, with one TD, and an excellent QB rating when targeted of 115.5.
As a sophomore in 2024 he played just 3 games and had only 8 catches for 74 yards for an average of 9.3 yards per catch, with no TDs, and QB rating when targeted of 105.2.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- A big-bodied and sure-handed underneath target, he's a fluid mover, and Sadiq shows good sense as a route runner and provides an enormous catch radius over the middle of the field.
- Looks to get involved downfield and will block multiple defenders on a single play when he can. Understands his role as a blocker.
- Catches well in traffic, shields the ball from defenders with his frame, and holds on despite being hit. Will fully extend, snatch, and stay in bounds.
- When used downfield, he shows the ball-tracking skills and hand-eye coordination to make the adjustment on underthrown balls and back-shoulder throws.
- Has hands of glue, about as good as you 'll see in the sport.
- A coordinated athlete and tough player to tackle, running with low pad level. Has good body thickness and strength.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Sadiq really isn’t a guy who will create a lot of separation.
- Sadiq isn’t going to overwhelm opposing defensive backs with speed and athleticism.
- He’s largely a non-factor downfield, and Sadiq had issues with drops when running behind a defensive back and tracking the ball. More quick than fast, he won’t always be able to run away from NFL defensive backs.
