The 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.
Below are the official measurements for the tight ends who weighed in.
Eli Raridon and Sam Roush both measured 6'6"
Sam Roush at 267 pounds
Michael Trigg at 34 1/4"Elite length for the position.
Eli Raridon and Joe Royer at 10 3/4"
Riley Nowakowski at 6'2"
Prospects clearing 33-inch arms typically project well as in-line options, while lighter 240-pound range players often profile as move-tight ends.
