David Harrison· Feb 28, 2026

Recapping day one of the 2026 NFL scouting combine drills, Harrison names his standouts and offers draft projections: Sonny Styles could rise to No. 2 overall and is a top-10 pick, Ruben Bain Jr. will need to move inside from edge, Zane Durant and Owen Heineke will climb from seventh-round projections, Jacob Rodriguez lands late round two/early round three, and Lee Hunter is an early second-rounder who could sneak into the late first.

“Would not be surprised to see him up there at, like, number two now after this workout.”

    Cashius Howell to be picked “late first round” (picks 1–32)

    “He is a late first round guy and a lot of mock drafts. Has a nineteenth, but like I said, he's kinda teetering on that late first round line, into day two.”
