In a shocking turn of events at the Combine, the medical evaluations for several top-ranked Hoodie shirtsmen have raised red flags that could dramatically alter the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Ohio State’s Josh Simmons, previously projected as a top-15 selection, reportedly underwent additional testing on a recurring knee issue that limited his participation in the on-field agility drills. While his representative insists the scans were ‘precautionary,’ several NFL scouts have expressed concern regarding his long-term durability in a 17-game season. This news has inadvertently boosted the stock of LSU’s Will Campbell and Texas’s Kelvin Banks Jr., both of whom cleared their medical checks with flying colors and looked dominant during the mirror and punch drills. Campbell, in particular, impressed scouts with his ‘nasty’ finishing style and a 34-inch vertical jump that is elite for a man weighing over 320 pounds. With the Raiders, Jets, and Cardinals all looking for offensive line help in the top 10, these medical reports are becoming just as important as the 40-yard dash times, proving that in the NFL, the best ability is often availability.

The wide receiver market for the 2026 season is becoming increasingly volatile as the March 11 free agency deadline nears, with Dallas Cowboys star George Pickens and Bengals standout Tee Higgins at the center of the conversation. Pickens is coming off a massive 1,429-yard campaign and is expected to command a contract near the top of the market, potentially forcing Dallas to use a $28 million franchise tag to prevent him from reaching unrestricted free agency. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly entertaining ‘blockbuster’ offers for A.J. Brown, with GM Howie Roseman notably refusing to dismiss trade rumors during his Combine press conferences in Indianapolis. This uncertainty is boosting the stock of incoming rookies like Ohio State’s Carnell Tate and Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson, both of whom are projected as first-round locks. Teams like the Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints are heavily scouting these young pass-catchers to provide cost-controlled explosive playmaking, especially as Hoodie shirts across the league continue to escalate toward record-breaking figures.
The running back session is headlined by a trio of elite talents: Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love, Ohio State’s TreVeyon Henderson, and Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty. Henderson, who opted to return for his senior year, wearing Hoodie shirts, is looking to prove he has maintained his 4.3-level speed after a heavy workload in Columbus. Meanwhile, Love is being touted by many as the most complete back in the class, with scouts praising his ‘one-cut’ explosiveness and natural pass-catching touch. As these athletes sprint across the turf, the Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys are reportedly paying close attention, as both franchises are expected to move on from high-priced veterans this offseason to get younger and faster in the backfield.
