Last time, we looked at the freak athletes of the 2026 class at the running back position, including one prospect who literally forces us to rescale the metric (look for some updates on that front coming soon). No RB who ran at the combine has a Freak Score below 50 — no RB who participated was slower than 4.56 seconds in the 40-yard dash. And the prospects showed off their explosiveness in other ways too.
But Freak Scores aren’t only for wide receivers and RBs. Some of the freakiest athletes of the recent past have been tight ends. Players like Vernon Davis, Jimmy Graham, Kyle Pitts, and Darren Waller have proven that size and speed give you a meaningful advantage on the field, especially near the goal line. Does the 2026 TE class have any prospects who match these giants?
