Iowa's Gennings Dunker Turns Heads at 2026 NFL Combine with Mullet

Iowa offensive lineman Gennings Dunker impressed 32 NFL teams at the Combine with strong drill results and a signature mullet that drew widespread media attention.

  • On March 1, 2026, Gennings Dunker worked out at Lucas Oil Stadium before all 32 NFL teams, with broadcaster Rich Eisen calling it `the greatest mullet in the history of the combine`.
  • After redshirting as a freshman due to injury, Dunker started 38 games from 2023 through 2025 at right tackle, anchoring the University of Iowa line that won the Joe Moore Award.
  • His testing included a 5.18-second 40-yard dash and a 32-inch vertical, ranking 29th and T-6th among offensive linemen, respectively.
  • Most mock drafts list Dunker as a Day 2 / second-round projection, but some experts see mid-first-round upside with potential teams like Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys monitoring him.
  • He went viral weeks earlier for a Senior Bowl interview and again this past week after televised combine footage, while off-field quirks like Culver's coffee, hay-toss wins, and his mustache broadened Dunker's media appeal.
