Sam Hecht first joined the Kansas State Wildcats as a preferred walk-on in 2021, then grew to become a two-year starter and a potential early-round 2026 NFL Draft prospect at center. At a lean 6'4", 300 pounds, Hecht doesn't have domineering size or power, but instead wins with hyper-elite athleticism, positioning, and flexibility. In the run game, Hecht has the fleet-footed, explosive range to effortlessly traverse gaps and reach landmarks, and he has the hip flexibility to flip around and seal while keeping control.

Meanwhile, in pass protection, Hecht is balanced, well-leveraged, patient, and synergetic, with the ability to play square and keep positioning, as well as pick up stunts. His hand strength is below-average, and he can be outreached by longer defenders, but he compensates with quality leverage game and effective anchor footwork. Hecht projects best in zone schemes where he can operate on the move and out in space, but he has the angle IQ, intelligence, and athleticism to fulfill different roles, and he has impact starter upside if he can up his play strength.

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      Brah, they signed Devion Lloyd. Hes a top 5 ILB for the last 2 seasons at Pffffffft. Another off-season of weights for Prince and Nic. Pat Jones is back and hungry . Lee dropped to the 4th round and has skills to be a CB starter. Thor is coming back.  Tre'von Moehrig is the second best defender and has another year in this system.  There's some young talent here, its time.

      I’m greedy, was hoping we went all out on defense this draft, I think we’ll float in that top 12-15 range defense rank wise

      Our biggest addition Jaelen Phillips has a significant injury history to include a ruptured Achilles followed by a torn ACL. We failed to add a much needed starting safety, ilb, and/or nickel in the draft.   Lee Hunter is nice but ends up being a wash considering the loss of A'Shawn Robinson. Injuries could cause problems for a unit lacking depth.  Top ten seems a bit ambitious with a likely upgrade in strength of schedule.
