He is impressing far too many NFL teams ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft.

The 2026 NFL Draft is approaching, and with it, we will see prospects skyrocket or plummet during the NFL Scouting Combine. That is just the reality of the event.

For the Philadelphia Eagles, a player that may be firmly on their radar is doing quite well during the interview process, and his workouts won’t push any teams away from his potential in the pros, either.

In some discussions regarding Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq, NFL insider Mike Garafolo revealed that the Ducks product is crushing it at interviews. His confidence and intelligence are shining, and teams will absolutely take notice of that.

“The pen drop is when his soul leaves his body. Kenyon Saqdiq’s interviews here aren’t good news for @AnthonyLGargano and #Eagles fans hoping he’ll last until 23. Crushing it.” — Mike Garafolo via social media

Sadiq has been a popular mock draft pick for the Eagles when you consider that Dallas Goedert is set to enter free agency. If he doesn’t return to Philly, the TE position will be the largest talent void at a position on the entire roster, depending on what other moves Howie Roseman makes there.

Accordingly, Sadiq, who is the consensus TE1 in the class for many, may contain the most value for the Eagles in the first round – while also filling a huge offensive roster need.

“There are no physical limitations to his game. I very much believe that the best of Sadiq’s game is still very much in front of him. I am betting on this athlete every single day, twice on Saturdays, and three times on Sunday.” — Ryan Roberts, A to Z Sports

The talented, ultra-physical TE prospect makes a ton of sense for a Sean Mannion-led offense who helped Tucker Kraft emerge to stardom with the Green Bay Packers recently. Philadelphia may have to make a move up the board to guarantee they land him in the first round this year, though.
