DT Sheffield WR | NYJ
Jets' DT Sheffield: Headed to New York
The Jets signed Sheffield as an undrafted free agent Friday, Jack Bell and John Pullano of the team's official site report.
Sheffield played a season apiece at Washington State and North Texas before ending his college career at Rutgers. The wide receiver totaled 44 receptions for 557 yards and five touchdowns over 12 games in 2025. Sheffield's speed and suddenness mean that if he can produce at training camp, he may have a chance to see a few targets a year as a field-stretching option.

Jets' Malik McClain: Joins New York
The Jets signed McClain as an undrafted free agent Friday, Jack Bell and John Pullano of the team's official site report.
McClain played for Florida State and Penn State before finishing his college career with Arizona State. The wide receiver caught 31 receptions for 441 yards and one touchdown over 13 games in 2025, with his one score coming via a 42-yard reception on a trick play against Texas. Amidst a packed wide-receiver depth chart, McClain will really have to show out at training camp to survive cutdown day.

Caullin Lacy WR | NYJ
Jets' Caullin Lacy: Signs with New York
The Jets signed Lacy as an undrafted free agent Friday, Jack Bell and John Pullano of the team's official site report.
Lacy played four years with South Alabama before transferring to Louisville for the final two years of his collegiate career. The wide receiver caught 60 receptions for 635 yards and two touchdowns over 13 games in 2025. Lacy is undersized, but his vision and acceleration could potentially earn him a gadget role as the No. 4 or 5 receiver on an NFL roster.

Pat Bryant WR | DEN
Broncos' Pat Bryant: Spent offseason with training staff
Bryant said Friday that he spent almost the entire offseason in Denver rehabbing his hamstring injury and working with the training staff, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports.
Bryant was injured in Denver's season-ending loss to the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game. The 2025 third-round pick had 31 catches for 378 yards and one TD on 49 targets in 15 games during his rookie regular season. Bryant has regained health but will need to impress the coaching staff throughout training camp and the preseason to earn a prominent role in a deep wide receiver room that Denver bolstered by trading for Jaylen Waddle in the offseason while retaining Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin (hamstring), Marvin Mims and Bryant.

Jalen Walthall WR | HOU
Texans' Jalen Walthall: Lands in Houston
The Texans signed Walthall as an undrafted free agent Friday.
Walthall spent three years at Hawaii before transferring to Incarnate Word for his remaining two collegiate seasons. The wide receiver caught 70 receptions for 847 yards and eight touchdowns over 10 games in 2025. If Walthall can prove in training camp that his quickness translates to the NFL level, he may be able to sneak onto the Texans roster as an offensive depth option and special-teams contributor.

Donaven McCulley WR | MIA
Dolphins' Donaven McCulley: Signs with Miami
The Dolphins signed McCulley as an undrafted free agent Friday.
McCulley played at Indiana for four years and started 15 games before transferring to Michigan in 2025. The wide receiver produced 588 yards and three touchdowns on 39 catches over 13 starts for the Wolverines. The Dolphins drafted three wide receivers this year and have acquired a wealth of depth to fill the room, so surviving training camp will be quite the challenge for McCulley.

Colts' E.J. Horton: Hanging around Indy
The Colts signed Horton as an undrafted free agent Thursday.
Horton finished his collegiate career at Purdue in 2025, catching 27 of 49 targets for 289 yards over 11 contests. The wide receiver will look to make a strong impression on the Colts during the team's rookie minicamp beginning Friday.

Vinny Anthony II WR | ATL
Falcons' Vinny Anthony: Signs deal with Atlanta
The Falcons signed Anthony as an undrafted free agent Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Anthony caught 31 of 54 targets for 391 yards and a touchdown while also adding 27 yards and two scores on five carries over 12 contests at Wisconsin in 2025. More notably, the wide receiver compiled 446 yards and a touchdown on 16 kickoff returns, and his best path towards making the Falcons' 53-man roster is likely as a special-teams asset.

Jauan Jennings WR | SF
Vikings' Jauan Jennings: Inks deal with Minnesota
Jennings and the Vikings agreed on a one-year, $13 million contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Jennings will head to Minnesota after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the 49ers, five of which were as a member of the team's active roster. The wide receiver most recently caught 55 of 90 targets for 643 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns over 15 regular-season games in 2025. He now will join a Vikings roster that has a pair of top players in Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison as anchors in the WR room, but Jennings' presence will give the team a formidable trio at the position.

Chris Hilton Jr. WR | WAS
Commanders' Chris Hilton: Secures UDFA deal
Hilton signed with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent Thursday.
Hilton was a four-star recruit in LSU's 2021 class alongside Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas, but his career never took off, partly due to injuries. The 23-year-old wide receiver never posted more than 243 receiving yards in a season through five years at LSU. Still, Hilton ran a 4.41 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, so he could at least make some noise on special teams en route to a potential roster spot.
