Jaden Bradley is a wide receiver and 2026 NFL Draft prospect who finished his collegiate career at the University of Nevada Las Vegas after previous stops at Pittsburgh and Charlotte. A native of Hyattsville, Maryland, Bradley was a three-star recruit in the 2021 class who attended DeMatha Catholic High School and originally committed to Pittsburgh, where he played two seasons and totaled 19 receptions for 259 yards and two touchdowns. After a brief stint at Charlotte in 2023 in which he did not record a catch, he transferred to UNLV to reunite with former Panthers receivers coach Brennan Marion, who had become the Rebels' offensive coordinator. At UNLV, Bradley finally found the role that had eluded him, earning a starting spot in 2024 before becoming the team's clear top target in 2025, finishing the season with 58 catches for 931 yards and four touchdowns while starting all 14 games.
Standing 6-foot-4 and around 210 pounds, Bradley brings prototypical size for an outside receiver and is known for his ability to go up and attack the ball at the catch point, adjusting his body to contested throws and winning in the air. He showed impressive hands throughout drills at all-star events and is comfortable in space. His career journey across three programs before finding production at UNLV raises questions about consistency and competition level, and route refinement will be a point of emphasis at the next level. NFL evaluators project Bradley as a late-round or priority undrafted free agent candidate with developmental upside as a boundary receiver whose size and ball-tracking ability could allow him to contribute as a matchup piece and red zone target if given time to develop.
