2026 NFL Combine Shocker: Which Underrated Receivers and Running Backs Suddenly Became Must-Watch Prospects?

Wide receivers

Jordyn Tyson (Arizona State) – Tyson might be the best all-around wide receiver in this draft class. He’s almost as long as Carnell Tate and as agile as Makai Lemon, with great explosiveness and speed. Tyson reminds me of former Giant Hakeem Nicks, and like Nicks the big question with Tyson is his health. He suffered a devastating knee injury in 2022 that also cost him 2023, lost time in 2024 to a broken collar bone and a hamstring injury in 2025. It’s that hamstring injury that’s keeping him out of the on-field workouts at the Combine.

This was his chance to answer those questions about his health and he could slide further than anticipated if they persist.

Malachi Fields (Notre Dame) – Fields was frustrating on tape. There were flashes of toughness, ball tracking, and separation on quick passes, however speed was a question on tape. He built a following during the Senior Bowl week and left Mobile just outside of the Top 4 — at least in the eyes of some. He’s still a big, powerful receiver who tracks the ball well, but his 4.61-second 40 is going to give a lot of decision makers pause.
