  • Lake McRee TE | PIT

    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 RB | LV

    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 RB | MIA

    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.

  • DJ Rogers TE | DAL

    DJ Rogers: Set to join Dallas

    Rogers agreed to a deal Saturday with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Rogers worked his way up the TCU depth chart over his five-year college career, earning himself a starting role for the Horned Frogs in the 2025 season. The 24-year-old tight end played 54.4 percent of his snaps inline for TCU's spread scheme and logged 34 catches for 319 yards and two touchdowns on 41 targets over 13 games. Rogers has a massive wingspan (82 and 1/4 inches), finishes catches well and moves very well with his 258-pound body. The tight end is a promising physical prospect, but his low-level elusiveness and lack of starts at the college level put him behind his peers in versatility, knowledge and experience.

  • Joey Aguilar QB | JAC

    Joey Aguilar: Headed to Jacksonville

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

    Aguilar will join the Jacksonville quarterback room and will vie with Nick Mullens and Carter Bradley for one of two potential backup jobs behind starter Trevor Lawrence. As a seventh-year senior at Tennessee this past fall, Aguilar completed 67.3 percent of his passes for 3,565 yards, 24 pass touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The 24-year-old has a solid arm, good deep ball potential and a great frame, but he struggles with seeing the field. This weakness is especially evident when he's pressured, due to a lack of pocket elusiveness that led to eight fumbles in 2025 and 29 in three years at the FBS level. Aguilar also had surgery in January to remove a benign tumor on his throwing shoulder, adding to the worries already in place about his age as he enters the league.

  • Red Murdock LB | DEN

    Broncos' Red Murdock: Picked last by Broncos

    The Broncos selected Murdock in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 257th overall.

    Murdock (6-foot-2, 232 pounds) is an example of a player with a poor athleticism grade but heaps of football ability otherwise. His skill level as a linebacker is uncommon, because in his last two years at Buffalo he accumulated 298 tackles, including 30 for a loss and 7.0 sacks. Murdock also somehow punched out 17 fumbles in his last three seasons. Very few collegiate linebackers live in the backfield as often as Murdock did. The limitation with Murdock is his athleticism, which grades below average thanks to a 4.79-second pro day 40 and poor jumps (31.5-inch vertical, 114-inch broad jump). Murdock already proved he can play if his athleticism can hold up at a given level of competition, so if he turns out to be a steal for the Broncos it wouldn't be fair to call it a complete surprise.

  • Dallen Bentley TE | DEN

    Broncos' Dallen Bentley: Picked up by Broncos

    The Broncos selected Bentley in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 256th overall.

    Bentley's big numbers from the 2025 season were undermined by the fact that he did next to nothing in any of the prior seasons, and by the time Bentley started producing for Utah he already had a big age advantage over most of the competition, cheapening the value of that otherwise noteworthy receiving production (48 catches for 620 yards and eight touchdowns on 80 targets). Even with quality workout metrics at 6-foot-4, 252 pounds, Bentley will likely begin his NFL career as a practice squad type yet will turn 26 this winter, so he doesn't have much development time on his side.

  • Michael Dansby CB | SEA

    Seahawks' Michael Dansby: Selected by Seattle

    The Seahawks selected Dansby in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 255th overall.

    Not that it's unusual for late seventh-round picks, but Dansby was well off the NFL Draft radar after playing three seasons at San Jose State and one at Arizona, all of them unremarkable. At a listed 5-foot-11, 185 pounds, Dansby didn't participate in pre-draft athletic testing, so his skill set and tools grade both are question marks at best. Perhaps the Seahawks saw something in Dansby's special-teams upside.

  • Deion Burks WR | IND

    Colts' Deion Burks: Picked by Colts

    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.
