Top 5 performers at DE in pre-draft athletic testing metrics for Jaguars
These five defensive ends were the top performers in the athletic testing metrics during the pre-draft process.
Looking ahead to the 2026 NFL draft for the Jacksonville Jaguars , here are the tight ends from this year's class who have stood out above the rest in the athletic testing portion of the pre-draft process. To compare the athletic testing and measurements of each wideout, we will be using Kent Lee Platte's Relative Athletic Score (RAS). In short, RAS is a way to compare a player's athleticism and size to the rest of his position group through an easily digestible number based on height, weight, and athletic testing numbers.
The RAS scale ranges from 0-10, and the closer to 10 a player scores, the better the athlete. While a player's athletic testing certainly isn't the be-all, end-all when it comes to the evaluation process, it very much is something that NFL teams pay attention to. Here are this year's standout performers from the defensive end position.
Dani Dennis-Sutton, Penn State RAS: 9. 96 Dennis-Sutton has had steady pass rush production the last two seasons, totaling 45 pressures and 51 pressures, respectively. Dani Dennis-Sutton is a DE prospect in the 2026 draft class.
He scored a 9. 96 RAS out of a possible 10. 00.
