Canady Shows Skills at Combine, Skips Agility Tests

Oregon Ducks defensive back Jadon Canady displayed his quick-reaction abilities and ball skills during on-field drills at the 2026 NFL Combine while opting out of agility testing.

Canady, who transferred to Oregon for his final season after two years each at Tulane and Ole Miss, established himself as a pivotal piece from the slot corner position in 2025. He registered 39 tackles, six passes defensed, and two interceptions during his time with the Ducks.

The defensive back's measurements were consistent with his listed stats at Oregon: 5-foot-10 1/2 inches in height and 181 pounds. Canady also participated in meetings with the media and NFL teams, an important part of the scouting process. Despite skipping agility tests at the combine, he is expected to perform well in short-yardage drills and vertical jump at Oregon's Pro Day.
