Jets HC Aaron Glenn told reporters Thursday that rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq had a “minor procedure” to address a hernia. Glenn said they expect the first-round pick to be ready for training camp.

The New York Jets selected Indiana WR Omar Cooper Jr. with the 30th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. A four-star recruit, Cooper turned potential into production in 2024. He caught 28 passes for 594 yards and 7 TDs while leading the Big Ten in yards per reception at 21.2. Cooper led the 2025 Hoosiers with 69 receptions, 937 yards, and 13 TDs alongside breakout QB Fernando Mendoza. He shifted into the slot after spending the previous two seasons primarily outside, leading to a lower average depth of target (9.7 yards vs. 16.0 and 15.1). Cooper excelled after the catch, forcing a missed tackle on nearly 40% of his receptions.

The New York Jets selected Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq with the 16th pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. Sadiq’s production profile is not as impressive as recent first-round TEs Brock Bowers, Tyler Warren, or Colston Loveland. He caught just five balls as a freshman and was out-produced by TE Terrance Ferguson as a sophomore in 2024. Sadiq set career highs across the board this past season, leading Oregon with 51 catches and 8 TDs and finishing second to WR Malik Benson with 560 yards. But his 1.62 yards per route ranked just 10th among 27 of the top TEs in this year’s class. For perspective, Bowers, Warren and Loveland all topped 2.6 yards per route in their final college seasons. On the plus side, Sadiq just turned 21 in March and lit up the Combine. He clocked a 4.39-second 40 time with a 43.5-inch vertical to earn a 9.52 Relative Athletic Score. Sadiq is a bit undersized at 6’3, 241 pounds but holds up well as a blocker. He should be able to stay on the field for all three downs. And he’s a three-level threat as a receiver, possessing plus route running and after-catch skills. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler calls Sadiq a “Vernon Davis-like weapon.”

Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq put on a show at the Combine, clocking a 4.39-second 40-yard dash with a 1.54-second 10-yard split. He added a 43.5-inch vertical and an 11'1 broad jump. As NFL Research noted, Sadiq:

• Is faster than Odell Beckham (4.43-second 40 time)
• Quicker than DeSean Jackson (1.55-second 10-yard split)
• And more explosive than Julio Jones (38.5-inch vertical) and Andre Johnson (11'0 broad)

Sadiq is undersized for his position, checking into the Combine at 6'3, 241 pounds. But the testing numbers still earned him a 9.43 Relative Athletic Score, which ranks 78th out of 1,356 TEs since 1987. Sadiq was already a lock to be the first TE off the board in the NFL draft and dynasty drafts. His confirmed athleticism only pushes him further up the board.
