The final day in Indianapolis belonged to the big men. Offensive linemen closed out the 2026 NFL Combine, and two prospects clearly separated themselves from the pack.
Gennings Dunker
Yes, the untied mullet stole attention. But the testing backed it up.
Next Gen Stats:
Production Score: 59
Athleticism Score: 86
Total Score: 75 (6th among all guards)
Dunker popped on Day 4 with a 4.63 shuttle (second-best among OL) at 6’5”, 319 pounds. He made 38 starts at right tackle, but projects best as an NFL guard. The move inside should maximize his heavy hands, power, and run-game nastiness, even if his movement in space stays average. Dunker looks like a strong Day 2 value with starter upside.
Spencer Fano
Fano confirmed what evaluators suspected all season: he’s one of the best athletes in this tackle class.
Next Gen Stats:
Production Score: 85
Athleticism Score: 90
Total Score: 91 (1st among offensive tackles)
Fano validated first-round athleticism. He ran a 4.91 forty (second-fastest among OL) and posted the best three-cone at 7.34. He even took reps in center drills to show versatility. The only real debate is arm length, which could push some teams to consider him inside, but the movement skills are starter-level.
Overall combine winners
- Sonny Styles: 4.46 speed with record-level jumps and he now looks like a top 10 lock
- Mike Washington Jr.: Perfect 10.0 RAS and a 4.33 forty with Day 2 conversation a possibility
- Kenyon Sadiq: Elite athleticism for a tight end and he’s in the top 15 conversation
