Nick Singleton — 2026 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 1.0

If Singleton falls to the Chiefs, everybody in the league will be cursing how they let a good player land in the same backfield as Mahomes. He's adept at running between the tackles as he is getting out into the flat (eight receiving TDs), and should be plenty fresh for the NFL, given how he's split carries with Kaytron Allen in Happy Valley.

The Cardinals have bigger concerns than running back, but with James Conner aging, GM Monti Ossenfort could be looking for a more dynamic element to pair with Kyler Murray. Singleton is a true bell-cow back with breakaway speed, who at this early juncture would seem to be a steal at this portion of the draft.

With Washington fully embracing its expedited arrival to the NFC's contending class by making bold moves to support Jayden Daniels while the quarterback is on a rookie contract, why not take another stab at trying to put the offense over the top? While Brian Robinson Jr. — who is entering the final year of his rookie contract — has been reliable, Singleton would change the complexion of the Commanders' attack with his breakaway speed while still maintaining the power and versatility to be a three-down threat.
