"Sam Roush is an interesting candidate. The Stanford prospect ascended with every passing season in college. While his athletic traits were nowhere near Oregon's Kenyon Sadiq during on-field drills in Indianapolis, his performance did nothing to diminish his chances of being taken at some stage on Day 2."
"Roush clocked in at 4.7 seconds in the 40-yard dash, which included a 1.61-second split over 10 yards. His 38.5-inch vertical jump and 10-foot, six-inch broad jump were decent enough. This was followed by showcasing his pass-catching abilities, rounding off a successful session."
"Roush has many likable traits that suggest he can become a prominent figure immediately. There are concerns about the number of drops in college, and the blocking technique needs refinement, but this could be a high-value selection for Washington if he drops into the third round."
Adam Peters faces significant pressure in the 2026 NFL Draft with only six picks, including two in the first four rounds. Washington must maximize every asset to prove their 2025 season was temporary and establish perennial contention. The Commanders need additional talent at tight end despite Zach Ertz's potential return and Ben Sinnott's development. Sam Roush from Stanford presents an intriguing Day 2 option. Though his athletic metrics at the Combine were solid rather than elite—4.7-second 40-yard dash, 38.5-inch vertical jump, and 10-foot, six-inch broad jump—his consistent college progression and pass-catching abilities demonstrate promise. Concerns about drops and blocking technique exist, but Roush could represent high value if available in the third round.
