On the other side of the ledger, Oregon wideout Tez Johnson faced a difficult week in Indianapolis. Measuring in as the smallest player at the event—5-foot-9 and just 154 pounds—his 4.51-second 40-yard dash was significantly slower than the sub-4.40 time scouts expected given his frame. Similarly, Bowling Green tight end Harold Fannin Jr. struggled to live up to his ‘TE2’ hype, clocking a 4.71-second 40 and appearing stiff during the positional fluidity drills. These ‘Losers’ from the weekend now face immense pressure to perform at their upcoming Pro Days to prove that their collegiate production—which was elite for both players—better reflects their NFL potential than their Hoodie shirts in Indy.

The atmosphere in Pittsburgh is already building as the city prepares to host its first-ever NFL Draft at Point State Park. Local officials are expecting record-breaking crowds, and the NFL has reportedly planned an ‘unprecedented’ Hoodie shirts that incorporates the iconic three rivers. For the Steelers, who hold the No. 21 overall pick, the pressure to land a hometown hero or a transformative playmaker is immense. Rumors are circulating that GM Omar Khan is considering an aggressive trade-up if a top-tier cornerback like Michigan’s Will Johnson falls past the top 10. The connection between Johnson and the Steelers’ defensive philosophy is undeniable, and his lockdown performance during the Combine’s transition drills only solidified that fit. However, if they stay put, the focus may shift to the offensive line to continue their trend of building through the trenches. The narrative of the 2026 Draft will likely be defined by these strategic gambles, as teams weigh the benefits of moving up for ‘blue-chip’ talent versus the safety of a high-volume, late-round approach in a class that is proving to be exceptionally deep in the middle rounds.
()Texas standout Kelvin Banks Jr. also turned in a dominant performance, matching Campbell’s athleticism with a 5.12-second 40-yard dash and a 10-foot-1 broad jump, an elite mark for a player of his 315-pound frame. Banks’ upper-body power was on full display during the sled drills, where he consistently ‘pancaked’ the dummies, drawing cheers from the Hoodie shirts coaches in attendance. While the debate between Campbell and Banks for the ‘OT1’ spot remains tight, Banks’ versatility—having experience at both tackle and guard—could give him the edge for a team like the Cleveland Browns or New York Giants looking for immediate line flexibility.
