EspañolThe tight ends officially checked in at the 2026 NFL Combine in Indianapolis, giving evaluators verified size profiles before on-field testing begins. For the position, length, and mass matter. Arm length affects catch radius and blocking surface area, while overall frame often determines whether a prospect projects as an in-line Y, move tight end, or flex option.
