Elijah Sarratt predicted to land with NFC West squad in 2026 NFL Draft

Elijah Sarratt is putting together another productive season in 2025 with the Indiana Hoosiers.

The 6-foot-2 receiver from Virginia has tallied over eight touchdowns in each of his four seasons in college football, and has posted 14 touchdowns for Indiana this season.

Sarratt is continuing his stellar play in Indiana's College Football Playoff Semi-Final game versus the Oregon Ducks, hauling in four receptions for 48 yards and a touchdown in the first half.

With Sarratt dominating in 2025, the NFL is the next chapter for the Indiana wideout. FanSided's Tarringo Basile-Vaughan predicts Sarratt will land with the Arizona Cardinals in the second round of April's draft.

Here are Basile-Vaughan's thoughts on Sarratt as a prospect at the next level:

"At 6-foot-2, 209 pounds, Sarratt has strong hands and is an outstanding route-runner who plays with physicality.  He’s not the explosive receiver the Cardinals are looking for, but he is reliable and has no problem putting his body on the line as a blocker down the field."

The Cardinals could use another receiver in the offense to pair with Marvin Harrison, Michael Wilson, and star tight end Trey McBride. Adding Sarratt to serve as a red-zone and jump-ball threat would be an electric move from general manager Monti Ossenfort.

Arizona's quarterback situation will be a major question mark this offseason, as Kyler Murray is coming off an injury-riddled. Whether it's Murray or someone else under center, selecting Sarratt would greatly help the Cardinals' signal-caller, as his ability to make tightly contested catches makes him a quarterback's best friend.

Sarratt should be high on many teams' draft boards, including the Cardinals, who have the potential to field a potent offense in 2026.
