Kenyon Sadiq — 2026 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 2.0

Sadiq has high-volume potential as a moveable piece/flex tight end -- especially in Kyle Shanahan's offense. And with the Achilles injury to George Kittle, this makes even more sense.

The Eagles have a tough call at tight end, with Dallas Goedert recently turning 31 and about to hit the void years of his contract. Even if the Eagles decide to restructure Goedert's deal and keep him for 2026, they're known for drafting for future need. Sadiq is a sudden and productive F-tight end prospect but lacks elite size at 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds. His run-after-catch skills are elite, and he's a proven red zone menace, but his drop issues (six in 2025) will be heavily considered. Sadiq is the best tight end in the class and would be an ideal middle-of-the-field playmaker for Jalen Hurts.

Sadiq oozes athleticism, will run through arm tackles and is used all over the formation. He can be a quick-game target as an outside WR and is used effectively on jet sweeps. He's also one of the best blocking TEs in college football who is an asset on special teams, too. He reminds me of Kadarius Toney in the quick game and Anquan Boldin in space with the ball in his hands.

Injuries stunted much of Tampa Bay's offensive success, but the Bucs really could have used a high-level tight end. Enter Sadiq, who caught 51 passes for 560 yards and eight touchdowns this season. He's a physical marvel, a mismatch for defenders and a willing blocker. He's TE1 in this draft class.

With Darren Waller's contract up, the Dolphins could prioritize tight end in the draft. Sadiq is a mismatch creator with the potential to give defensive coordinators headaches as they try to keep up with Miami's speed and explosiveness on the perimeter.

Sadiq could go much higher than 27th overall. He's undersized, but he has outstanding speed and is a competitive blocker. He would be the ultimate chess piece for Kyle Shanahan, giving the coach a hybrid of George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk.
