J'Mari Taylor: Expected to sign with Jacksonville
The Jaguars are slated to sign Taylor as an undrafted free agent, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.
Taylor excelled with Virginia last year, carrying 222 times for 1,062 yards (4.8 YPC) and an ACC-leading 14 rushing touchdowns. He added 43 catches for 253 yards and another score. Prior to last season, Taylor spent three seasons with North Carolina Central, and in his final year with the Eagles he tallied 1,146 yards on 196 carries (5.8 YPC) and 15 touchdowns. He's undersized at 5-foot-9 and 204 pounds but runs with physicality and has good footwork. He fumbled only twice on 577 rushes during his time in college.

J. Michael Sturdivant: Slated to sign with Packers
Green Bay is expected to sign Sturdivant as an undrafted free agent, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.
Sturdivant spent time with Cal, UCLA and Florida during his collegiate career. In his lone season with the Gators last year, he tallied 406 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 27 catches. Sturdivant stands 6-foot-3 and ran a 4.40 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, making him an intriguing wideout prospect despite his quiet numbers with Florida.

Dan Villari: Expected to join Rams
Villari is slated to sign with the Rams as an undrafted free agent, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.
Villari is a unique and intriguing prospect, as he worked as a pass catcher, runner and quarterback during his college tenure, with his last four seasons spent with Syracuse. As a senior, he recorded 39 catches for 412 yards and rushed 17 times for 55 yards and a touchdown. He hasn't seen work as a quarterback since 2023, when he completed 23 of 33 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions for the Orange, so his path to an NFL roster spot is likely as a tight end.

Vikings' Dillon Bell: Gets opportunity with Minnesota
The Vikings signed Bell as an undrafted free agent Saturday.
Bell played four collegiate seasons with Georgia and recorded 27 receptions for 268 yards and two touchdowns in his final campaign. He also carried the ball 17 times for 109 yards and two scores. Per The Beast, Bell considers himself a "positionless player," which both highlights his versatility and suggests that he doesn't have a clear path to a regular role in the NFL. He may need to prove himself on the practice squad to get an opportunity on gamedays for Minnesota.

Vikings' Kejon Owens: Joins Vikings as UDFA
Minnesota signed Owens as an undrafted free agent Saturday.
Owens spent his five collegiate seasons with Florida International and broke out in his first big opportunity as a senior, racking up 1,334 rushing yards with 11 touchdowns on 213 carries (6.3 YPC). He added 67 yards on 18 receptions as a pass catcher. Minnesota features Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott at RB, so Owens may need to earn his way to an opportunity on NFL gamedays via the practice squad.

Deontae Lawson: In line to join Philly
Lawson is expected to sign with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.
Lawson was a standout at linebacker for Alabama, notching two All-SEC sections and leading the team with 89 tackles last season. The Eagles feature one of the NFL's top linebacker corps, so Lawson may need to work his way up to a prominent role, potentially through the practice squad.
-
Michael Trigg: Expected to land with Dallas
Trigg is slated to sign with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Trigg spent his final two collegiate seasons with Baylor and is coming off his best campaign, recording 50 catches for 694 yards and six touchdowns in 2025. Dallas features Jake Ferguson at tight end, and Brevyn Spann-Ford provides steady run blocking as Ferguson's backup, so Trigg may need to prove himself on the practice squad before getting a look on the active roster.
-
Sawyer Robertson: Slated to sign with Las Vegas
The Raiders are expected to sign Robertson as an undrafted free agent, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Robertson spent his final three collegiate seasons with Baylor and racked up 3,681 passing yards with a 60.3 percent completion percentage, 31 touchdowns and 12 interceptions as a senior. He was unremarkable as a rusher, carrying 56 times for 17 yards, though he recorded three touchdowns in that capacity. The Raiders drafted Fernando Mendoza No. 1 overall in this year's draft and also signed Kirk Cousins in free agency, so Robertson is likely headed for a spot on the practice squad.

Dae'Quan Wright: Signing with Philly
Wright is slated to sign with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Wright logged 1,029 receiving yards and nine receiving touchdowns over two seasons with Ole Miss, claiming the No. 2 spot in program history for career tight end yardage. The 22-year-old was a consistent producer of splash plays, with 12 catches of 20-plus yards in 2025. He has exceptional contact balance as well as an expansive catch radius beyond what his frame would typically allow. Wright's toughness also isn't in question after the tight end played through the entire 2025 season with an injured right shoulder that he suffered in the season opener. His greatest weaknesses are a lackluster frame for blocking and inconsistent playing weight. The tape Wright has displayed portrays him as a strong tight end prospect that can take advantage of mismatches, something the Eagles could utilize in a depth role behind Dallas Goedert. Wright's camp production will likely be heavily weighed against Grant Calcaterra's and Eli Stowers' to determine if Wright is at the NFL level.

Luke Altmyer: Headed to Detroit
Altmyer is slated to sign with the Lions as an undrafted free agent, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.
Altmyer's best football trait is his brain. The fifth-year senior out of Illinois is a clutch passer, leading seven game-winning drives in the final minute or overtime in his career. The quarterback consistently finds clear sight lines and can deliver accurate balls with nice touch and rhythm. Despite not being wildly athletic, he is adept at finding an escape route when the pocket collapses. The root of all Altmyer's weaknesses is his lack of transcendent athleticism. He doesn't throw with power, is undersized, doesn't have exceptional ball security and has a lack of poise in the pocket. The positive news about a potential signing with the Lions is that Jared Goff isn't an exceptional athlete either by NFL standards, and the ability to learn from the pocket passer in an effort to fix some of these weaknesses could lead to future opportunities in the NFL for the 23-year-old.
