Benson's 4.37 opens the door to prove full WR/returner skill set

PITTSBURGH — Oregon WR Malik Benson ran a 4.37 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine ahead of the 2026 Draft. That’s not a projection. That’s not a hope. That’s a data point that tells NFL scouts the Oregon receiver can do something most players on a football field simply cannot do: Stress a secondary vertically before the ball is even snapped.

Speed that real changes all the angles for a defense. The question is whether that’s all Benson brings to the field. The answer to that likely determines his draft position and a massive difference in his rookie contract.

Here’s the latest on his Draft stock:

Whittington: Best RB game film in the 2026 Draft class?

Chuck-D — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 18:27:13 GMT

Never miss a Ducks4Life update!

PITTSBURGH — Noah Whittington never set foot on the Lucas Oil Stadium turf for testing in Indianapolis. A toe injury kept him off the field and out of the 40. In a Draft process built on measurables, that’s usually the kind of thing that buries a prospect.

Daniel Jeremiah watched the tape and didn’t care.

The NFL Network analyst and former NFL scout called Whittington’s 40-yard TD run against Minnesota his favorite run of the entire 2026 Draft cycle during the Combine broadcast. That’s not a throwaway comment. That’s a credentialed evaluator with draft-room relationships telling teams exactly where to look.

Matter of fact, Jeremiah graded Whittington’s tape the best RB game film of the entire Draft class.

NFL asking why they took so long to notice Thieneman

PITTSBURGH — There’s a version of this story where Dillon Thieneman is a feel-good transfer portal narrative. Purdue transfer Safety finds a home at Oregon, makes big play, and wins a Penn State whiteout. Good story. Warm ending.

That’s not all there is to this story.

Thieneman’s story is about a legit first-round pick who’s been putting the work on tape since 2023, and a Combine week that finally forced the rest of the country to admit what Oregon and Purdue insiders already know.

Sadiq set Combine record; rewrote his NFL price tag

PITTSBURGH — Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq heads into the 2026 NFL Draft as the most electrifying player at his position.

Sadiq arrived at the NFL Combine in February, projected as a fringe first-round prospect.

The 6-foot-3, 245-pound TE ran a position-record 4.39 40-yard dash and launched himself onto every team’s first-round Draft board.

Scouts don’t get surprised often. Sadiq surprised them.

PITTSBURGH — Draft Day stopped being a question of IF for Oregon decades ago. The 2026 question is quickly becoming, How many #ProDucks will go in the first round.

TE Kenyon Sadiq, Safety Dillon Thieneman, and OL Emmanuel Pregnon were Oregon’s biggest Draft-stock movers at this year’s Combine.

INDIANAPOLIS — The stopwatch never lies. It amplifies. For nine Oregon prospects invited to the 2026 NFL Combine, it’s about shaping their NFL futures in a Draft class ESPN projects as strong at offensive tackle and defensive back.

The Combine is more than a workout; it’s a job interview under the brightest lights. A chance to get NFL dreams validated and get Draft stock elevated.

Starting on Feb. 23 in meeting rooms at Lucas Oil Stadium, 319 prospects will try to reshape their draft stock before the NFL Draft in April.
On-field drills and testing start Feb. 26, with live coverage on NFL+ and NFL Network.

Oregon coach Dan Lanning often makes it clear his vision for the program isn’t just winning games; he’s out to build Sunday starters along the way. Losing players to the NFL each season “is a good problem to have,” Lanning has said in past Draft cycles.

Here’s how the week in Indy could move the needle for each of the newest ProDucks:

30-year throwback

Not only is 2024 the first season of Oregon's move to the Big Ten, it's also the 30th anniversary of the 1994 squad cementing nearly two decades of Brooks' relentless building of Oregon into a championship program.

The 'Gang Green' update shows expressions of today's uniform functionality visibly rooted in those pivotal mid-1990s seasons of Oregon's steady ascent.

The timing for a design like this makes it chock-full of meaning for Oregon football OGs. The execution, too: Oregon’s mid-July uniform reveal included a video featuring eight-year NFL veteran DB Alex Molden from Oregon’s 1994 conference championship team.

Foundations of UO’s arrival

Those original Gang Green teams of the early '90s inherited a solid foundation — steadily elevated by each wave of Oregon players through Brooks’ 18 years at Oregon.

Brooks' players in the academic classes of 1994-97 marked Oregon's arrival as a perennial contender and a national brand.

Molden and I sat down recently to discuss the 1994 team’s decisive step up from a 5-6 previous season, and their transformation to Pac-10 champions.
"It shows when you can lock in and put the team ahead of yourself, you can do some really powerful things,” Molden said.

History-making at the time, back in '94 — powerful enough to still earn headlines 30 years later.

"It shows when you can lock in and put the team ahead of yourself, you can do some really powerful things.”

— Alex Molden, DB for Oregon’s 1994 Pac-10 championship

Wearing the Gang Green originals — one green jersey; one white, and one set of yellow helmets — 1994 Oregon rose from the ashes of a 5-6 previous season and the frustration of a 1-2 start in '94 to beat three ranked conference opponents in a span of five games, then went on to win Oregon's first outright Pac-10 title, and earn the Ducks’ first Rose Bowl appearance in 37 years.
