1	TE Kenyon Sadiq	6-3 241lbs 4.39	TE	241lbs	6-3	4.39	1	17.9	87.6 MORE>>	The Combine did not just confirm what we already knew about Sadiq. It elevated him. Running a 4.39 at 241 pounds does not just make him...
9	TE Oscar Delp	6-5 245lbs 4.49	TE	245lbs	6-5	4.49	7	98.7	83.3 MORE>>	Watch the Delp's tape and you will see him lined up wide or in the slot far more often than inline next to the tackle. That tells you...
23	TE RJ Maryland	6-4 236lbs 4.51	TE	236lbs	6-4	4.51	28	296.4	77.0 MORE>>
2	TE Eli Stowers	6-4 239lbs 4.51	TE	239lbs	6-4	4.51	3	64.1	85.1 MORE>>	Stowers is not a traditional inline tight end and probably never will be. His value at the next level is as a pass-catching weapon who...
18	TE Jaren Kanak	6-2 234lbs 4.52	TE	234lbs	6-2	4.52	26	281.8	80.0 MORE>>	Here's the deal with Kanak: he's not a tight end in the traditional sense, and NFL teams need to stop evaluating him like one. At 6'2",...
14	TE Dae'Quan Wright	6-4 246lbs 4.55	TE	246lbs	6-4	4.55	19	204.2	81.3 MORE>>	Wright covers ground like a big receiver, not a traditional Y. That kind of athleticism paired with his catch radius and ball skills makes...
25	TE Matthew Hibner	6-4 251lbs 4.57	TE	251lbs	6-4	4.57	25	260	76.0 MORE>>
31	TE Sav'ell Smalls	6-3 265lbs 4.58	TE	265lbs	6-3	4.58	37	434	70.4 MORE>>
19	TE John Michael Gyllenborg	6-6 249lbs 4.60	TE	249lbs	6-6	4.60	16	192.3	79.9 MORE>>	Gyllenborg's NFL value is tied almost entirely to what he can do as a receiver and a special teams contributor. His combine testing...
11	TE Marlin Klein	6-6 248lbs 4.61	TE	248lbs	6-6	4.61	13	143.9	82.4 MORE>>	Klein is a fascinating evaluation because the physical tools genuinely pop when you watch him work. A 6'6" tight end who can run the...
15	TE Dallen Bentley	6-4 253lbs 4.62	TE	253lbs	6-4	4.62	20	208.6	81.1 MORE>>	Bentley's film tells the story of a late bloomer who maximized a long-awaited opportunity. The receiving production in 2025 was...
10	TE Eli Raridon	6-6 245lbs 4.62	TE	245lbs	6-6	4.62	10	112.1	83.2 MORE>>	Watch enough tape on Raridon and you see a tight end who can contribute right away in specific packages while developing into something...
