Assessing Jadon Canady's performance at the 2026 NFL Combine

· Yahoo Sports

It was defensive backs day at the NFL Combine on Friday, with Oregon Ducks standouts Dillon Thieneman and Jadon Canady appearing in Indianapolis. Thieneman performed nearly every agility testing drill, while Canady didn't, presumably opting to wait until Oregon's Pro Day.

Canady, a transfer to the Ducks for his final season of eligibility after spending two seasons each at Tulane and Ole Miss, did on-field drills however, revealing his quick-reaction abilities and ball skills that he showcased in 2025. At Oregon, he registered 39 tackles, six passes defensed and two interceptions, quickly establishing himself as a pivotal piece from the slot corner position of the Ducks' defense.

His measurements were pretty on par with what he listed at with the Ducks: 5-foot-10 1/2 inches in height and 181 pounds in weight. His hand size was 9 1/4 inches while his arm length was 30 inches, relatively average considering his size.

Canady also participated in meeting with the media and with NFL teams, an extremely important piece of the scouting process.

Despite opting out of the agility testing at the combine, expect Canady to test well in the short-yardage agility drills and vertical jump at Oregon's Pro Day, as he excelled with quick movements defending the slot and showed off his leaping ability multiple times with the ball in the air last season.
