Broncos selected Texas A&M DT Tyler Onyedim with the No. 66 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

25 April 2026

Onyedim (6’3/292) is a steady, assignment-sound interior defender whose profile is defined by balance rather than standout traits, pairing great explosion testing (32” vertical, 9’3” broad) with middling agility numbers and a brisk 1.69s 10-yard split (92nd percentile), which combined for a solid 8.31 RAS. He consistently excelled against the run, flashing disruptive ability in spurts while maintaining reliable gap integrity and run fits within Texas A&M’s front. He wins with hand usage and play strength, leveraging his frame to stack, peek and shed while showing enough first-step quickness to threaten interior shoulders and create occasional backfield penetration. While he doesn’t possess a true calling-card trait, Onyedim’s game is notably free of glaring weaknesses, making him a high-floor rotational piece who rarely busts assignments or loses contain. His pass-rush production lacks consistency due to average bend and change-of-direction ability, and he can stall out once initial momentum is absorbed by NFL-caliber linemen. Onyedim projects as a reliable rotational defensive tackle with spot-start upside, capable of providing early-down stability and complementary interior pressure in a deep NFL front.
