On the opening drive of the season, Sadiq scored on a three-yard touchdown run, showcasing the speed that earned him a top pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The 16th overall selection out of Oregon was a dynamic force, capable of playing multiple positions, handling carries, blocking, and catching passes.
