Jets' Sadiq: Elite Athlete, First-Round Bet

On April 30, the New York Jets grabbed three studs in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft.

They snagged wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. late in the round,

edged rusher David Bailey for that quick pressure,

and tied in Kenyan Sadiq, who stands out as their most intriguing grab.

Earlier this week, footage dropped of the Jets calling Sadiq to tell him the news.

Offensive coordinator Frank Reich was hyped, reacting like he knew it was coming

straight from a pre-draft video chat he had with the Oregon product.

Fans and insiders lit up over Reich's vibe.

With one Jets sourcing, he basically called his shot back then,

hinting the team would take Sadiq.

It shows how deep the connection ran before draft night.

Sadiq brings elite athleticism,

clocking an under 4.4040 yard dash at the combine,

drawing nods to Vernon Davis as the top tight,

end in the class.

He joins Mason Taylor in a room the Jets beefed up with a high second round pick last year.

Reich's clear fandom and this first round bet signal,

big things for New York's offense moving forward.
