  • 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.

  • John Michael Gyllenborg: Signing with Kansas City

    Gyllenborg is slated to sign with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Gyllenborg is fast for a tight end, posting a 4.6-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine despite his 6-foot-5, 249-pound frame. The Wyoming graduate started 19 games over three years, totaling 1,002 yards and seven receiving touchdowns from 2023 to 2025. He has a knack for identifying and settling down in zones and has the speed to threaten defenses down the field. The 23-year-old's biggest flaws revolve around his inability to box out defenders on 50/50 balls and a tendency to jump unnecessarily at the catch point. The Wyoming staff says Gyllenborg is a breeze to coach, so the Chiefs should have some luck fixing the issues that have hindered him as a pass catcher. They will also need to work on elevating the tight end's abilities as an inline blocker, but with proper improvement, Gyllenborg could work his way up the depth chart by the end of camp.

  • Lake McRee: Signing with Pittsburgh

    McRee is slated to sign with the Steelers as an undrafted free agent, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.

    The biggest red flag McRee has is his injury profile, and it's likely why he is an undrafted free agent instead of a Day 3 pick. McRee suffered a torn ACL in his left knee in 2019 and a torn ACL in his right knee in 2023, and he missed an additional three games in September 2024 due to a sprained left knee. The 23-year-old amassed 450 yards and four receiving touchdowns over 12 games as a starter for USC in 2025. McRee possesses a flexible catch radius and limits drops while also being able to finish through contact. He is a strong and aggressive blocker who can sustain his blocks on the move, but his toughness and aggression can lead him to injury. If the young player can be protected from himself and stay healthy, the Steelers could have an additional roster-level tight end heading into 2026.

  • Roman Hemby: Signing with Las Vegas

    Hemby is slated to sign with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

    Hemby is set to reunite with fellow national champion Fernando Mendoza in Vegas. The duo won the 2025 title in January, with Hemby leading the team in rushing. The running back also led Maryland in rushing for the three seasons he was a starter. The 23-year-old's 840 career touches provide a wealth of football experience. That experience shows that he does not fumble the football, does not drop passes and runs downhill with acceleration and strong contact balance. The most likely reason Hemby was not drafted is his lack of advanced field vision and inability to make many moves. All in all, Hemby's durability, experience and connection to Mendoza may mean he has a shot to supplant Mike Washington or Dylan Laube as the second running back option behind Ashton Jeanty.

  • Jeff Caldwell: Bolstering the Kansas City corps

    Caldwell is slated to sign with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

    Caldwell started 31 games in college, with 11 of those coming in his first and final season at Cincinnati in 2025. The wide receiver had 478 receiving yards and six touchdowns as a primarily outside receiver for the Bearcats. The 23-year-old has many weaknesses, such as questionable play strength, inconsistent yards after catch and inconsistent releases, but one thing stands out that could mitigate many of the problems: speed. Caldwell has exceptional straight-line speed (4.31-second forty-yard dash) and accelerates fast whenever he touches the ball. The Chiefs' coaching staff will work with the young player on the more technical aspects of his game, but Caldwell is likely joining the team because coach Andy Reid excels at getting players into open space. If Reid and Caldwell can find a way to set up in the open field, the Cincinnati alum could easily add himself to the laundry list of gadget wide receivers the Chiefs have traditionally used to build a dynasty.

  • Le'Veon Moss: Headed to Miami

    Moss is slated to sign with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Moss was a starter for two-and-a-half years at Texas A&M. He managed to amass only 345 offensive touches in his collegiate career due to injuries like a torn UCL in 2024 and a knee injury in October 2025 that caused him to miss six games. When healthy, the 23-year-old's athletic frame and strong contact balance allow him to fully meet the physical demands of his position, particularly on the goal line (12 touchdowns on 16 carries over his last two seasons). If the Dolphins can alleviate his struggles as a pass blocker, Moss could eventually see the field on a regular basis as a second option back, more suited to short-yardage situations and relief carries. This role would provide strong synergy with the fast and elusive De'Von Achane, and if the Dolphins can also develop first-round offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor, the team's run game could become a catalyst for offensive success.
