The 2026 NFL scouting combine begins next week and for many of these prospects, we’ll get to see for the first time their OFFICIAL measurements, and if we are fortunate enough, some testing numbers so we can verify what we have seen on film.
With that, I wanted to give you my first mock offseason of 2026.
I’m sure this may change a bit, especially with the draft, after the combine and free agency, but I always like to go back to these and compare the results with what we actually end up doing.
