2026 NFL Draft : Prospects Spark Debate After Surprising Performances at Scouting Combine

Jeff Caldwell, WR, Cincinnati, rockets up draft boards after a standout performance at the 2026 Scouting Combine. His 4.31-second 40-yard dash is impressive, but at 6-foot-5, 216 pounds, he combines size and speed like few others. Caldwell leads with a 1.48-second split in the 10-yard dash, a 42-inch vertical jump, and an 11-foot-2 broad jump.

Charles Demmings, CB, Stephen F. Austin, solidifies his status as a top prospect with a 4.41-second 40-time and explosive jumps, likely propelling him into the top 100.

Dani Dennis-Sutton, Edge, Penn State, confirms his elite status without needing to work out. He leads edge rushers with a 10’11 broad jump and shows impressive agility with a 6.90-second 3-cone drill. His powerful performance cements him as a top-tier edge defender.
