It was a **[busy day at the podium](https://www.chargers.com/news/jordyn-tyson-fernando-mendoza-combine-2026)** as well, with the wide receiver, running back and quarterback prospects speaking to the media on Friday.
Of course there were the top quarterbacks, like Indiana's Fernando Mendoza and Alabama's Ty Simpson, in addition to consensus top running back Jeremiyah Love.
It was also the first chance to hear from the top wide receiver prospects as well, a group that has been described as deep but with a lot left in the air in terms of rankings.
One of them was Arizona State's Jordyn Tyson, a top prospect who racked up 158 receptions for 2,282 yards and 222 touchdowns over his four seasons at both Arizona State and Colorado.
Tyson talked about his approach heading into the NFL and what he hopes to work on.
"Just a little small, small step. Little things. I feel like I got the big things," Tyson said. "Keep improving on the little things. New ways to get open, getting more creative. Sometimes my arms get a little wild. I feel like I need to fix that."
He later added: "Just finding my perfect regimen for myself so I can play all 17 games or 21 games if we do make it to the Super Bowl."
#### **The Main Takeaway**
There was a lot of athleticism on display on Friday at the Combine.
The cornerbacks, safeties and tight ends put on a dazzling performance in Friday's workouts, with a number of impressive standouts.
One of the bigger names participating in the day's events was none other than Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq, who **[said on Thursday](https://www.chargers.com/news/kenyon-sadiq-2026-nfl-combine-mock-drafts)** he hoped to put together one of the best Combine performances.
He reached the high bar he set for himself to say the least.
Sadiq, who measured in at 6-foot-3, 245 pounds, ran a quick 4.39 40-yard dash, the fastest time by a tight end since 2003. Not to mention his 11-foot-1 broad jump, which came in as the third-best at his position since 2003.
Another tight end that hit high marks was Vanderbilt's Eli Stowers, who made some history.
Stowers hit 45.5 inches on the vertical jump and 11-foot-3 on the broad jumps, both records for tight ends at the Combine.
Listed at 6-foot-3 and 239 pounds, Stowers helped his cause in a big way, as he and Sadiq became the only two tight ends with a 40+ inch vert and more than 12 inches on the broad jump since 2003.
