2026 NFL Draft: American Conference Prospects

For the fourth consecutive year, the American Conference did not produce a first-round NFL Draft selection, but it remains a talent-rich source for later rounds. In 2026, notable prospects include Navy’s Eli Heidenreich, a versatile RB/WR, and Memphis OT Travis Burke, both invited to the NFL Combine. Other key players to watch are Navy’s DT Landon Robinson and UTSA’s RB Robert Henry Jr., who had impressive college careers. The league aims to match or exceed last year’s six draft picks during the final rounds and post-draft free agency.
