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.

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.

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.

The Colts selected Burks in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 254th overall.

No one would have thought anything of it if the Colts had taken Burks in the fourth round rather than the seventh, so this can only be seen as an ideal end-of-draft selection. Burks' lack of production at Purdue and Oklahoma generally indicates a limitation in his wide receiver skill set, but if the weak parts of his game ever improve, he has the athleticism to become quite useful. Small as he is at 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, Burks' athleticism is loud -- his 4.30-second 40-yard dash, 42.5-inch vertical jump and 131-inch broad jump are all well above the 90th percentile for wide receivers.

The Commanders selected Kaliakmanis in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 223rd overall.

Kaliakmanis was a full-time starter at Minnesota in 2023 before transferring to Rutgers for his final two seasons. As a fifth-year senior, Kaliakmanis completed 52 percent of his passes for 3,124 yards, 20 touchdowns and seven interceptions while connecting on 28 passes for 20-plus yards. He didn't add much with his legs and likely won't in the NFL after running a 4.92 40-yard dash at his pro day. Still, Kaliakmanis has a good enough arm to give him a strong chance to earn the No. 3 quarterback job behind Jayden Daniels (elbow) and Marcus Mariota.

The Cowboys selected Smith in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 218th overall.

Smith did little of note through four years at NC State, but he exploded after transferring to East Carolina for his final two seasons of college ball, generating 105 catches for 1,852 yards and 13 touchdowns. Despite not having a polished route tree, he can win deep balls with a 4.40 40-yard dash at 6-foot-2, 197 pounds. Smith didn't play special teams at ECU but should have the ability to contribute in that facet. It will be difficult to break into the offensive rotation with CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin taking nearly all the reps.

The Texans selected Bond in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 204th overall.

Bond (5-foot-11, 197 pounds) is likely a slot receiver to the Texans after a Boston College career where he provided quality underneath receiving production but little in the way of big plays. Bond's reliable hands could prove useful to the Texans. It just would probably require some injuries at receiver first.

The Rams selected Daniels in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 197th overall.

Daniels played for three different schools during his six-year college career, which ended with Miami in 2025, when he caught 50 passes for 557 yards and seven touchdowns across 13 games. He brings a 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame with good instincts and an all-around package that can help him compete at the NFL level, even if there isn't a specific category or trait that he excels in. Daniels will have the opportunity to compete against Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield for the Rams' WR3 spot behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.

The Seahawks selected Henderson in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 199th overall.

Henderson (6-foot-1, 185 pounds) might be a better bet to make a roster than most other sixth-round rookie receiver selections, because Henderson is fully expected to stand out as a special-teams gunner. Henderson was a known special-teams presence even while he was a backup wideout at Alabama, but Henderson managed to log an encouraging season of wideout production in his one year at Kansas. The selection of Henderson might be a bad sign for 2025 seventh-round pick Ricky White, who was also largely selected for his special-teams ability.

The Raiders selected Benson in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 195th overall.

Benson was well-traveled during his college career, beginning with two seasons of community college before making one-year stops at Alabama, Florida State and Oregon to round out his career. Benson did, at least, save his best season for last in Eugene in 2025, racking up 43 catches for 719 yards and six touchdowns, all career-best marks. He's a bit slender at 6-foot, 189 pounds, but the 23-year-old wideout ran among the better 40 times for wideouts with a 4.37 mark. Benson claims solid range and ball skills but needs work on his route running and to add muscle. Benson has some history as a return man for the Ducks and will likely need to contribute on special teams in Las Vegas.
