2026 NFL Combine Shocker: Which Underrated Receivers and Running Backs Suddenly Became Must-Watch Prospects?
We finally made it through a long, long Saturday, but the offensive skill position workouts in the 2026 NFL Draft are in the book.
The New York Giants need to continue to add talent around Jaxson Dart on the offensive side of the ball, and there has also been talk that they could be looking to add to their running back room. For a supposedly weak draft class we saw yet another day of historic workouts from every position group.

Washington bypassed the field drills, but threw down a potentially historic workout:
Mike Washington Jr. is a RB prospect in the 2026 draft class. He scored an unofficial 10.00 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 1 out of 2115 RB from 1987 to 2026.CHECK OUT THE HOTTEST DEALS ON AMAZON!
