Uar Bernard

Professional career

Pre-draft Before the 2026 NFL draft, he participated in the International Player Pathway Pro Day in front of NFL scouts, where he measured in at 6 feet and 4.5 inches at 306 pounds with just 6% body fat. He also performed well in drills; he ran a 4.63 40-yard dash, had a 39-inch vertical jump and a broad jump of ten feet, ten inches, earning a perfect 10.0 Relative Athletic Score. After his breakout performance, Bernard became an intriguing prospect for the 2026 draft. Despite his extraordinary athleticism, Bernard had yet to play a single snap of organized football in his life.

Bernard was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the seventh round with the 251st overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. Eagles executive and general manager Howie Roseman said of Bernard, "We wanted to take a chance on [him]," and acknowledged, "it's going to take a lot of time." He was waived on August 30 and re-signed to the practice squad the next day.
