Kenyon Sadiq runs 4.39-second 40-yard dash, fastest tight end ever
Oregon's Kenyon Sadiq is the fastest tight end in the history of the Scouting Combine.
Sadiq ran his 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds, the first tight end ever to break the 4.4 barrier.
The previous tight end record of 4.40 seconds was first set by Vernon Davis in 2006 and then tied by Dorin Dickerson in 2010.
Sadiq also showed off his athleticism with an 11-feet, 1-inch broad jump and a 43.5-inch vertical jump, both outstanding scores for a tight end.
The 6-foot-3, 241-pound Sadiq isn't just an impressive athlete: Last year he won the Big Ten's tight end of the year award and caught 51 passes for 560 yards and eight touchdowns. Even before the Combine, Sadiq was expected to go in the top half of the first round of the 2026 NFL draft. His Combine performance cemented that.

The Blues spent a then British transfer record to sign both players from Benfica and Brighton respectively in the January and summer windows of 2023.
Both Fernandez and Caicedo have gone on to establish themselves as key players in the project, and were a big part of the side which won both the Club World Cup and the Conference League last season.
Chelsea not willing to part ways with Fernandez and Caicedo
Fernandez is the top scoring midfielder in the league this season with eight goals, but has been linked with both PSG and Real Madrid.
Caicedo has arguably been one of, if not the best midfielder in the league over the last 18 months, and it’s thought both he and Fernandez are looking for new deals.

As is the case with top players the likes of Real Madrid are said to have been sniffing around, but TEAMtalk have reported the Spanish giants are likely to explore alternative targets.
The report adds sources say both are settled at Stamford Bridge and aren’t looking for a move, whilst Chelsea are showing no willingness to negotiate for either player.
Chelsea want new midfielder in the summer
Whilst the Blues look set to keep hold of Fernandez and Caicedo, they are said to be looking for another midfielder to help ease the burden on the duo.
Chelsea have been linked with both Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson, but are likely to face fierce competition from other clubs.
