2026 NFL Combine Shocker: Which Underrated Receivers and Running Backs Suddenly Became Must-Watch Prospects?
Wide receivers
Ted Hurst (Georgia State) – Shout out to Georgia State! Hurst has been making a name for himself since the Senior Bowl and nothing has changed over the last month. He had a great workout with 4.42 speed at 6-foot-4, 204 pounds, and he absolutely looked like he belonged among the top prospects in the field drills — including a FANTASTIC catch on the QB’s deep pass drills. Boxes checked and don’t be surprised if you hear his name called on the second day of the draft.
Bryce Lance (North Dakota State) – This has been a good night for NDSU. Lance has good size at 6-foot-3, 204 pounds, and excellent speed with a 4.34-second 40-yard dash. Lance is a tenacious blocker in NDSU’s run-first offense on tape, but caught the ball exceptionally well in drills. He popped on tape when studying Grey Zabel a year ago, and I’m glad to see him showing out in Indy.
Skyler Bell (UConn) – Bell has been on my personal radar for a while, but he might be on the national radar after today. He came into the day with the reputation as a very good route runner, but showed off his explosiveness with a 41-inch vertical and 11-foot-1 broad jump. He also ran his routes well and caught the ball cleanly throughout the first group of wide receiver drills.
