The 2026 NFL Draft is one of the more fascinating iterations of the event.

As a result, the Combine has seen heightened attention from football fans across the country.
After three gruelling days, the final stretch is upon us. On March 1, one final group will take the field, trying to make a name for themselves and potentially impress an NFL team to take a swing at them. Here’s everything you need to know about Day 4 of the 2026 NFL Combine.

Players to Watch on Sunday at the NFL Combine
As the last two Super Bowls, in particular, have shown us, the offensive line, while underrated, remains an impossibly valuable position for NFL teams. Both the Kansas City Chiefs and the New England Patriots were thoroughly dominated in one-sided games, with subpar performances from their offensive line.
As a result, the focus on the position group is tighter than ever, making the final day an exciting showcase for teams to shore up their protection. Here are the players who are going to draw the most attention among that group.
Spencer Fano – OT, Utah
Spencer Fano is one of the favorites to be the first tackle taken in the 2026 NFL Draft, and his raw talent serves as a powerful separator underneath a profile that’s becoming more refined.
The 6’6″, 308-pound Fano has a combined athletic and power profile that’s near impossible to replicate. His acceleration is lethal when traversing gaps, launching off the line, and exploding into space, and his burst, length, and leverage make him a natural-born displacer in the run game, with a combative finishing mentality.
As a pass blocker, Fano’s anchor footwork still needs work, but he improved his feet replacement and anchor swivel in 2025.
He’s always brought rapid recalibration, quickness, and force as a hand fighter, along with incredible recovery athleticism and range, but in 2025 he built on that quickness with improved hand-strike precision and upper-lower-body sync, adding upkicks and violent snatches to his game.
A scheme-versatile run blocking savant with the elite matching athleticism and recovery to thrive in pass protection, Fano has impact starter potential.
Francis Mauigoa – OT, Miami (FL)
Francis Mauigoa has long been anticipated as a potential first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. After joining the Hurricanes as a five-star recruit, he immediately entered the fray as a full-time starter at offensive tackle and earned second-team All-ACC honors in 2024.
In 2025, he was a first-team All-ACC competitor and a consensus All-American. At 6’6″, 335 pounds, Mauigoa has exceptional mass and inbuilt power, and he’s a nimble, explosive, and rangy mover with easy hip flexibility, torque, and realignment freedom.
More than that, he’s already an incredibly balanced mover and an advanced hand-fighter, who specializes as an opportunistic attacker with situational adaptability. Momentary lapses in intensity occasionally appear on his tape, and his middling length might hint at a more productive NFL future as a guard.
Nonetheless, he can be an impact starter at either spot, with a persistent poise and precision in pass protection and a mauling edge in the ground game.
Monroe Freeling – OT, Georgia
Monroe Freeling declared for the 2026 NFL Draft as a true junior, and he’ll assuredly be in the mix for an early-round selection at the OT spot. A former highly touted recruit, Freeling towers at almost 6’7″, 315 pounds, with an overwhelming 84″ wingspan, and he distinguishes himself as an excellent athlete at that size, with menacing power.
He’s extremely quick off the ball, with exceptional overall proportions, a stable center of gravity, and logic-defying flexibility and leverage acquisition skills at his size. His hand usage is still fairly basic at this stage; he can win more often than not with his sheer athleticism and reach.
Still, Freeling has an incredibly strong foundation of inherent athleticism and soft skills; he’s angle-sound and disciplined in the run game, and in time, he can grow to become an impact starter across both phases.
Olaivavega Ioane – OG, Penn State
Olaivavega “Vega” Ioane is one of the frontrunners to be the first guard taken in the 2026 NFL Draft. Ioane started his first five games in 2023, and then started all 16 games at left guard in 2024, and reprised his role as the Nittany Lions’ resident iron man in 2025.
At 6’4″, 330 pounds, Ioane fits the ideal profile of an NFL interior lineman. He’s not the most fleet of foot and can be lumbering on recovery, but he’s still a fairly nimble mover who has acceptable functional mobility on the lateral plane, to pair with natural leverage, overwhelming hand power and torque, and impressive two-phase awareness.
He can pick up stunts and keep rushers inside his frame in pass protection, while unleashing violent punches from neutral hip alignments, and he’s a rangy, angle-sound, and assignment-sound run blocker who can generate copious amounts of movement.
A certified mauler and people-mover with a great physical foundation and a technically sound two-phase profile, Ioane raises an NFL unit’s floor on day one.
