Kenyon Sadiq among Joel Klatt's top 10 offensive players in NFL draft
The conclusion of the 2026 NFL Combine represents one more step closer to the NFL Draft, which will take place on April 23-25 in Pittsburgh, PA. NFL scouts and draft analysts in the media are going full bore into dissecting both the results at the combine and film from the 2025 college football season.One of the most knowledgable members of the college football media is Joel Klatt, who recently released his top 10 offensive players in the 2026 draft class. His top two is largely the consensus, with Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza and Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love topping the list at No. 1 and 2, respectively. Then, a pair of offensive tackles and wide receivers preceded Oregon Ducks tight end Kenyon Sadiq, who is essentially a lock to be the first tight end selected in the draft. Sadiq is well deserving of the No. 7 spot on Klatt's list, as he very well could be taken within the first 15 picks after a strong performance at the combine.

But it's not just his athletic frame and measureables that stick out. The 6-foot-3, 241-pounder was a Mackey Award finalist in 2025, as he hauled in 51 passes for 560 yards and a nation-leading eight touchdown receptions from his tight end position. The way that the Ducks used him provides belief that he can used across the formation in the NFL, something that is needed for a tight end to be selected highly. When looking at his full body of work, it's not hard to imagine Sadiq being a true difference maker at the next level and worthy of being one of the highest-ranked offensive players in the entire draft class.Contact/Follow@Ducks_Wireon X (formerly Twitter) and like our page onFacebookto follow ongoing coverage of OregonDucksnews, notes, and opinions.This article originally appeared on Ducks Wire: Where Joel Klatt ranks Kenyon Sadiq among 2026 offensive prospects
