Episode notes
Freak Athlete Tight End Built For Seam And Leak Plays
- Kenyon Sadiq is an elite athletic tight end who profiles as a deep-threat flex TE.
- He posted a 4.39 40, 1.54 10-yard split, and 99th percentile vert/broad, making him explosive on seams and leaks.
Blocking Ability Is The Key Projection Question
- Blocking is the main NFL projection question for Sadiq despite his strength and willingness.
- Josh and Hayden agree he can handle second-level blocks but likely lacks mass/arm length for consistent EDGE engagement.
Draft Sadiq For Schemes That Use Motion And Split Flow
- Prefer teams that will weaponize Sadiq in motion and split-flow schemes rather than require him to be a full-time inline blocker.
- He ran an 82% snap rate and 74% on run plays at Oregon, showing willingness to play lots of snaps if schemed right.
