Breer wrote the following about Sadiq in his notebook style story:
_Sadiq has a chance, if he goes through the physical testing, to be what Nick Emmanwori was a year ago — the prospect who proves too much of a physical outlier for anyone to ignore. Some expect that Sadiq, at about 6' 3" and 240 pounds, will run in the 4.3s and jump 40 inches, which would be outstanding numbers for a receiver half his size. And the bonus with Sadiq (who did have a little issue with drops) is that, within his Shannon Sharpe-type skill set, there is a real willingness to block as well._
Breer assessed a handful of other participants and position groups to watch closely in Indy. It's worth acknowledging standouts at the combine don't always pan out as professionals — but stealing the show this week can raise the stock of a prospect whose potential may be greater than his college production.
Anyhoo, Breer showed love to the likes of Ohio State linebackers Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles, and Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love — all three are projected Top 10 selections; and Breer also noted some less heralded college stars, including a potential record-breaker in the 40-yard dash, Mississippi State wide receiver Brenen Thompson, and a couple Day 2 or Day 3 options at running back, one being Minnesota native and Nebraska product Emmett Johnson. As far as the quarterbacks Breer is stoked to see, the only one he mentioned as having a chance to merit attention is North Dakota State's Cole Payton, who is "rugged as a runner" and could help himself by displaying a translatable set of skills.
