The NFL has announced that 16 players will attend the 2026 Draft in Pittsburgh, with many top prospects in attendance. Among those confirmed are Arvell Reese (EDGE/LB, Ohio State) and David Bailey (EDGE, Texas Tech). Notably, projected first overall pick Fernando Mendoza (QB, Indiana) will not be present, which could impact draft strategies. Other significant absentees include offensive linemen like Monroe Freeling (OT, Georgia) and Spencer Fano (OT, Utah). The absence of these players raises questions about their draft stock and potential availability for teams like the Green Bay Packers, who hold the 52nd pick. Additionally, health concerns surround Jermod McCoy (CB, Tennessee), who missed the previous season due to a torn ACL, further complicating the draft landscape.
