Oregon star Jadon Canady is headed to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Kansas City Chiefs drafted Oregon CB Jadon Canady with the 109th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. 

For Oregon in 2025, Canady had 18 solo tackles, one tackle for loss, two interceptions and six passes defended. 

Canady helped Oregon go 13-2 in 2025. The Ducks lost to Indiana in the Peach Bowl by a final score of 56-22.

Canady played for Tulane in 2021 and 2022 and Ole Miss in 2023 and 2024 before joining Oregon for the 2025 season. 

"Canady carries a slender frame with short arms but is brimming with confidence as a sticky slot option," Lance Zierlein of NFL.com wrote. "He plays with a rare feel for route breaks, frequently sliding his feet to cut direction in advance. He quickly closes distance with a twitchy burst and well-timed contact upon throw arrival. He’s quicker than fast and best from short zone/off-man alignments, allowing his instincts to do their thing. He gets jostled around by bigger players at the top of the route and will have his tackling tested by opposing run games out of 11 personnel. Canady is worth a late Day 2 or early Day 3 pick as a future starting slot corner."

The Chiefs have won three Super Bowls in the Patrick Mahomes-Travis Kelce-Andy Reid era. 

Let's see if Canady can help KC win another one.
