NFL | Jeff Caldwell rising heading into draft day Sun Apr 12, 01:34 PM
University of Cincinnati WR Jeff Caldwell might have risen from late Day 3 consideration to the early part of Day 3 due to his hard work at the NFL Scouting Combine, and his ability to win balls in the red zone. He was the tallest receiver at the combine, measuring 6-foot-5, and he ran a 4.31-second 40-yard dash, second-best among receivers who clocked a time. However, evaluators see some rough edges in his game, and his route tree needs to be better. 'I look at the board, and you don't see many guys with that kind of length who run like that. He needs work, he needs coaching, he needs to attack the ball, but the traits are there,' one AFC director of college scouting said.
Link to storyGeorgia State WR Ted Hurst has been a big riser, going from potential late Day 3 selection to perhaps a Day 2 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He was zero-star recruit who played one season at Valdosta State, and two at Georgia State, but he has been a frequent top-30 visit player in recent weeks. He flashed a 4.42-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, impressive for a 6-foot-4, 206-pound receiver. 'You'd like to see more against the best corners, but I like the arc. He's got a lot of good football waiting for him,' one NFC general manager said.
