Canady Shines in On-Field Drills at NFL Combine

Oregon Ducks cornerback Jadon Canady impressed scouts with on‑field drills at the 2026 NFL Combine, opting out of agility testing and heading to Pro Day for a full workout.

During defensive backs day in Indianapolis, Canady chose not to run the agility drills but instead performed on‑field drills that highlighted his quick reactions and ball‑hitting ability. The 5‑foot‑10½, 181‑lb. corner, who transferred to Oregon for his final season after stints at Tulane and Ole Miss, posted 39 tackles, six passes defensed and two interceptions last year.

Canady’s measurements match his listed size—hand span 9¼ inches and arm length 30 inches—and he will test his short‑yardage agility and vertical jump at Oregon’s Pro Day. He also met with media and NFL teams during the combine, a key step in the scouting process.
