The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine kicks off its second day of drills and workouts at Lucas Oil Stadium at 2 p.m. CT. This session will feature cornerbacks, safeties, and tight ends showcasing their skills in front of scouts, assistant coaches, head coaches, and general managers. Highlighting one of the participants is Georgia Bulldogs’ tight end Oscar Delp.
Delp enjoyed a solid four-year career, stepping in for Brock Bowers as the starting tight end these past two seasons, logging 24 of 28 starts. He wrapped up his career with 70 receptions for 854 yards and nine touchdowns, including 20 for 261 and one touchdown in 2025. With his exceptional blocking skills and solid receiving, Delp could soar on draft boards and boost his stock with a successful workout.
However, he will need to wait to impress scouts and others at a later date.

How can it be known it was fractured the entire season when it was just discovered?

Fracture in foot “disappears” in 3 weeks or there are different guidelines with pro day than the combine?
