"Wide receivers in the 2026 draft, in particular, had a good showing in Indianapolis. Several players at the position either had tested incredibly well in the athletic drills, or had some memorable moments during the on-field workouts."
"Romello Height was one of them. The Texas Tech product was in the top 10 among edge rushers in the 40 (4.64), vertical (39 inches), and broad jump (10 feet, 5 inches), a strong result considering his size (6-foot-3, 239 pounds)."
"Dani Dennis-Sutton and Malachi Lawrence put themselves in pretty rare territory with their combine performances. They joined Myles Garrett, T.J. Watt, Montez Sweat, and Aidan Hutchinson as the only players in the last 10 years to log a relative athletic score of at least 9.89 after having a season in which they recorded a pressure rate of at least 17 percent."

Other edge rushers including Dani Dennis-Sutton and Malachi Lawrence achieved rare athletic scoring benchmarks, joining elite company like Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt in combine performance history.
