Dillon Theineman Boosts Draft Stock with Standout Combine Showing

Oregon Ducks safety Dillon Thieneman stood out at the 2026 NFL Combine on Friday night.

Thieneman impressed in measurements and jumping drills before delivering an eye-popping 4.35 in the 40-yard dash on his second attempt. The time ranks among the fastest in Oregon program history and was the fourth-fastest among all safeties at this year’s combine.

His film already carried significant weight. Thieneman earned third-team All-American honors in 2023 and first-team recognition in 2024 at Purdue, then followed it up with another strong season in Eugene.

After a head-turning combine performance, expect his name to surface more frequently in first-round mock drafts.
