The Packers selected Jackson in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 201st overall.

Jackson (6-foot-1, 194 pounds) spent the first two years of his collegiate career at USC, where he emerged as a starter in 2023 before transferring to Alabama. There, he started all 13 games in 2024 and 10 of 15 appearances in 2025. The 23-year-old's consistency in coverage leaves much to be desired, as evidenced by his total starts and snaps declining in his final year with the Crimson Tide, but Green Bay appears intrigued by upside provided by the former track sprinter's speed (4.41-second 40-yard dash). Jackson stands to begin his career with the Packers primarily in a developmental role and potentially also as a special-teams contributor.

The Vikings selected Claiborne in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 198th overall.

Claiborne brings a dynamic skillset to Minnesota after four years at Wake Forest -- two as a starter. The 22-year-old is a patient runner with the speed (4.37 40-yard dash) to break open a play when he sees daylight. At 5-foot-10, 188 pounds, he doesn't project as a consistent threat between the tackles, but there's clear upside if the Vikings can get him into space. Over his final two seasons, Claiborne rushed 407 times for 1,956 yards and 21 touchdowns while adding 51 receptions for 194 yards and two scores. Claiborne could earn his keep in a third-down role if he can tidy up his pass blocking, but it's a crowded room for now with 31-year-old Aaron Jones leading the way ahead of Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott.

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 Patriots selected Crownover in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 196th overall.

Crownover (6-foot-7, 319 pounds) spent five years as a contributor at Texas A&M, and he started all 13 games in each of his final two seasons at right tackle. New England's first-round pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, Caleb Lomu, projects as the team's future starter at right tackle, with Will Campbell already solidified on the left side, meaning Crownover will compete with the likes of James Hudson, Marcus Bryant, Sebastian Gutierrez and Lorenz Metz for depth reps as a rookie.

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.

The Titans selected Coogan in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 194th overall.

Coogan (6-foot-5, 311 pounds) probably profiles as a swing interior backup for the Titans after starting at center for Indiana in 2025. Coogan started games at both guard and center for Notre Dame in the two years before that, but more as moveable depth than an entrenched starting role in either case. Players like him are normally better with technique than athletic talent, and unlike earlier short-arm centers drafted (Logan Jones and Sam Hecht), Coogan doesn't have standout tested athleticism to offset his lack of reach (31 and 1/8-inch arms).

The Giants selected Kelly in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 193rd overall.

Kelly started all 25 games over his final two seasons at BYU and piled up 106 tackles, 23.5 tackles for loss, 15.0 sacks and four forced fumbles. He's smart and instinctive with serious physicality, and he's an intriguing athlete with a 4.57 40-yard dash despite being slightly undersized at 6-foot-2, 240 pounds. Kelly's high motor should command special-teams reps immediately while he continues to develop in a crowded linebackers room in New York.

The Saints selected Brown in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 190th overall.

Brown is a speedster who can take the top off the defense, compiling 53 catches for 532 yards and one touchdown in his senior season at LSU. He's very thin at 5-foot-11, 177 pounds, and he profiles as more of a sprinter than a polished route runner. Brown will likely be asked to add weight and muscle mass to his frame at the next level, and he'll need to clean up drops -- he totaled 21 drops over four seasons in college. One thing working in Brown's favor is his aptitude as a returner, which could help his case for a 53-man roster spot with the Saints. At receiver, Chris Olave and first-round pick Jordyn Tyson top the team's depth chart, and Devaughn Vele has shown pretty well in his first couple of NFL campaigns, but there is room for Brown to find a home and move up the depth chart if he performs well in camp.

The Jaguars selected Cameron in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 191st overall.

Cameron (6-foot-1, 220 pounds) played five years at Baylor and started every game in each of his final two seasons, making use of his big-bodied frame to total 19 touchdowns from 2024-25. As a rookie with Jacksonville, Cameron may successfully carve out opportunities as a situational big-play threat, but to earn a larger role than that at the NFL level he'll need to make significant developmental strides as a route runner. With Brian Thomas, Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and dual DB/WR Travis Hunter (knee) all demanding opportunities in the Jaguars' wide receiver room, there likely won't be many snaps for Cameron to compete with against Tim Jones, Austin Trammell and Chandler Brayboy.
