Jaydn Ott
2026 NFL Draft Prospect
  • Height: 5-11
  • Weight: 208
  • School: Oklahoma
  • Class: Senior
PRO CON
On his early tape, he showcased elite vision, speed, burst and contact balance. Ott has athleticism that can score from anywhere on the field and versatility that allows for usage as a receiver and a pass blocker. Very underwhelming final two college seasons at Cal and Oklahoma. Coaches revealed he wasn’t grasping the offense, struggling to stand out among a loaded group. Took strong Senior Bowl tape to improve his draft outlook.

OVERVIEW: Ott is one of the most divisive figures in the entire draft class, regardless of position. He was one of the highlighted weapons of the 2023 college football season and tallied 1,305 rushing yards and 14 total touchdowns while averaging 5.3 yards per carry at Cal. Then, in his final year with the Golden Bears, Ott powered through some minor injuries to remain on the field for most of the campaign. The same can't be said for his time at Oklahoma, where he played in just five games as a backup with the Sooners.

COMPARISON: Travis Etienne
