Oregon Ducks Pro Day Draws NFL Scouts From Nearly All 32 Teams

Scouts representing 31 NFL teams filled the Moshofsky Center on the University of Oregon campus March 17, giving nearly the entire league a firsthand look at Oregon's 2026 draft class in what doubled as a final farewell to Eugene for the prospects on the field.

Nineteen former Ducks participated in the workout, with tight end Kenyon Sadiq and safety Dillon Thieneman drawing the most attention as potential first-round talents. Both had already turned heads at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, where Sports Illustrated's Charlie Viehl wrote that the two "had some of the best showings of all participants, not just Oregon prospects." At the Combine, Sadiq did not complete any of the athletic tests but did run positional drills, while Thieneman remained on the sidelines. Their Pro Day appearances gave scouts a supplemental look at two players projected to hear their names called early in April.

Nine former Ducks received Combine invitations in total. Joining Sadiq and Thieneman in Indianapolis were Emmanuel Pregnon, Malik Benson, Bryce Boettcher, defensive back Jadon Canady, offensive lineman Alex Harkey, and running back Noah Whittington. University of Oregon Athletics posted images from the workout showing Boettcher's broad jump and Canady's 40-yard dash, capturing the intensity of a workout that carried genuine draft implications.

For players who did not make the Combine trip, the Moshofsky Center served as a critical stage. Offensive linemen Matthew Bedford and Charlie Pickard, wide receiver Gary Bryant Jr., and defensive back Theran Johnson were among those who used Pro Day as their primary opportunity to perform in front of scouts. With 31 teams represented, the audience could hardly have been broader.

The full list of participants also included Luke Basso, Andrew Boyle, James Ferguson-Reynolds, Ross James, Atticus Sappington, and Isaiah World, giving Oregon one of the more heavily attended pro days in the program's recent history.

For those who stepped onto the Moshofsky Center turf March 17, the workout marked a definitive closing chapter on their time wearing green and yellow. Their next appearance in a football facility will likely be in an NFL training camp.
