  • DJ Uiagalelei QB | LAC

    DJ Uiagalelei: Intends to sign with Chargers

    Uiagalelei is slated to sign with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

    Uiagalelei finished his five-year college career in Florida State in 2024 after transferring from Clemson. He completed 53.8 percent of his passes for 1,065 yards, four touchdowns and six interceptions in five games for the Seminoles before suffering a season-ending injury to his right hand. Uiagalelei will have the opportunity to compete against Taylor Heinicke and Trey Lance for the Chargers' backup quarterback role behind Justin Herbert during OTAs and training camp.

  • Quinn Ewers QB | MIA

    Dolphins' Quinn Ewers: Round 7 pick by Dolphins

    The Dolphins selected Ewers in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 231st overall.

    Ewers transferred to Texas after a year at Ohio State and started three years for the Longhorns, posting his best to date in 2025 to the tune of 3,472 passing yards and a 31:12 TD:INT ratio over 14 games, earning him Second Team All-SEC. He elected to bypass his final season of college eligibility to turn pro due to Arch Manning waiting in the wings in Austin, and he finally heard his name called in the final round of the draft. Ewers was a high-profile recruit coming out of high school and has battled through injuries throughout his career; however, he possesses some intriguing traits as a development project. He'll slot into a depth role behind Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson in Miami and will aim to prove his worth in training camp.

  • 49ers' Kurtis Rourke: Bay Area bound

    The 49ers selected Rourke (knee) in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 227th overall.

    Rourke followed in his brother Nathan's footsteps and started his college career at Ohio, where he was a productive three-year starter. He got himself onto the NFL radar after transferring to Indiana and leading the Hoosiers to an improbable run to the College Football Playoff. Rourke threw for 3,042 yards, 29 touchdowns and five interceptions with Indiana. What's more, he showed remarkable toughness by playing the whole season on a torn ACL. Injuries were unfortunately a large part of Rourke's college story with multiple ACL injuries. He projects as a high-level backup in the NFL and should be ready for the start of the season after undergoing knee surgery in January.

  • Cam Miller QB | MIA

    Raiders' Cam Miller: Lands with Las Vegas

    The Raiders selected Miller in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 215th overall.

    Miller took over the reins from Trey Lance at North Dakota State and had a successful career for the Bison. He led them to an FCS national title in 2024, throwing for 3,251 yards and 33 touchdowns against just four picks. Miller also has wheels with a whopping 48 rushing touchdowns to his credit. At 6-foot-1 and 215 pounds, Miller doesn't possess NFL starter tools but projects to be a backup that can stick in the league.

  • Graham Mertz QB | HOU

    Texans' Graham Mertz: Joins Houston in sixth round

    The Texans selected Mertz in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 197th overall.

    At one time, Mertz was considered a major quarterback prospect. He enrolled at Wisconsin as one of the top-rated quarterbacks in his recruiting class. Mertz never quite matched the hype in Madison, though, and transferred to Florida. He posted a 20:3 TD:INT in his first season at Florida in 2023 and had his final season cut short by an injury after five games. Given that he's a sixth-round pick going to Houston, Mertz projects as the QB3 behind C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills, at best.

  • Riley Leonard QB | IND

    Colts' Riley Leonard: Indy picks up QB in sixth round

    The Colts selected Leonard in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 189th overall.

    Leonard started for two seasons at Duke in 2022 and 2023 before transferring to Notre Dame in 2024, where he posted a career-best 66.7 completion percentage on 269-for-403 passing, racking up 2,861 passing yards and a 21:8 TD:INT ratio. While Leonard doesn't have lightning speed, he's certainly mobile, racking up 900 rushing yards and a Fighting Irish single-season record for rushing scores in a season with 17. There are still some questions surrounding his ability to push the ball down the field consistently. However, he fits nicely into Shane Steichen's offense behind uber-athletic Anthony Richardson, who's had his problems staying healthy early in his career. Leonard likely fits in behind Daniel Jones, an offseason acquisition by the Colts, as the potential third-string quarterback.

  • Will Howard QB | PIT

    Steelers' Will Howard: Opportunity knocks in Pittsburgh

    The Steelers selected Howard in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 185th overall.

    The Steelers waited until late in the draft to address quarterback but still ended up with a decent prospect in Howard. Before leading Ohio State to a national championship in 2024, Howard started parts of four seasons at Kansas State. He didn't have nearly the pass-catching talent at K-State that he had in Columbus, and that's borne out in the numbers -- Howard completed 58.8 percent of his passes at a 7.4 YPA clip. Howard was helped dramatically by the supporting cast at Ohio State and posted a 73 percent completion rate and 9.5 YPA while tossing 35 touchdowns in 16 games. Howard is a big (6-foot-4, 236 pounds) and athletic quarterback who can run. He doesn't possess elite arm talent but is a good processor and is poised. In a situation like Pittsburgh's with no established starter, it wouldn't be shocking for Howard to compete for a starting job. And as a fun aside, Howard actually competed for playing time with fellow Steeler Skylar Thompson while they were at Kansas State.

  • Kyle McCord QB | GB

    Eagles' Kyle McCord: Taken by Philadelphia in Round 6

    The Eagles selected McCord in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 181st overall.

    McCord transferred to Syracuse in 2024 after spending the three previous seasons at Ohio State. He flourished in Syracuse's pass-happy spread system, leading the FBS in passing yards (4,779) and completions per game (30.1) in 2024 to earn a spot on the Second Team All-ACC roster. McCord doesn't stand out physically, but he stays cool in the pocket and makes throws with conviction, which should translate against NFL-level defenses. He'll compete with Tanner McKee and Dorian Thompson-Robinson for the backup quarterback job behind Jalen Hurts.

  • Sam Howell QB | PHI

    Vikings' Sam Howell: On the move to Minnesota

    Howell was traded from the Seahawks to the Vikings on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    This was a likely outcome for Howell after Seattle drafted Jalen Milroe on Day 2 of the NFL Draft. Howell has starting experience and is a serviceable backup behind J.J. McCarthy, who is set to take over as the new starter in Minnesota.

  • Browns' Shedeur Sanders: Slide finally ends

    The Browns selected Sanders in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 144th overall.

    Sanders was the biggest faller of the draft, as he began the process this winter as a contender to go as the first overall pick. Instead, the Colorado product was the sixth quarterback to be selected and the second player at the position to be picked by the Browns, who also invested a third-round pick on Dillon Gabriel. The reasons for Sanders' slide aren't officially reported at this point, but he'll now likely be battling for the third spot on the depth chart to begin the 2025 season.
