  • Beaux Collins WR | NYG

    Beaux Collins: Expected to sign with Giants

    Collins is slated to sign with the Giants as an undrafted free agent, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Collins has some deep speed that may not have shown up at his pro day, when he ran a 4.54 40-yard dash at 6-foot-3, 198 pounds. The 22-year-old was a solid contributor all three seasons at Clemson before posting 41 receptions for 490 yards and three touchdowns at Notre Dame in 2024. Collins needs to prove himself over the summer to earn a roster spot.

  • Daniel Jackson WR | HOU

    Daniel Jackson: On track to join Texans

    Jackson is slated to sign with the Texans as an undrafted free agent, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Jackson was the clear top receiver at Minnesota over his fourth and fifth seasons, combining for 1,694 yards and 12 touchdowns over those two years. He's more of a technician than an explosive athlete, as he measured in at 5-foot-11, 193 pounds and ran a 4.63 40-yard dash at his pro day. Despite the below-average speed, he hauled in 14 catches for 20-plus yards in 2024. He'll aim to earn a depth role in a crowded Texans receiver room.

  • Elijhah Badger: On track to sign with Kansas City

    Badger is slated to sign with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent, John Hendrix of AthlonSports.com reports.

    Badger spent the first three years of his college career with Arizona before transferring to Florida in 2024, and he finished his senior year with 39 catches for 806 yards and four touchdowns in 12 games. His route running and awareness needs polishing at the NFL level, but he was a reliable target in college and was able to utilize his 6-foot-1 frame to effectively move the chains for the Gators offense. If he signs with the Chiefs, Bader will compete for a depth role at wide receiver behind Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice (knee), Hollywood Brown and rookie fourth-round pick Jalen Royals.

  • Nick Nash WR | WAS

    Nick Nash: Plans to sign with Atlanta

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

    Nash spent seven seasons with San Jose State, and in 2022 he transitioned from quarterback to wide receiver. The move proved to be the right decision, and in 2024 he was named Consensus All-American and to the First Team All-MWC after recording 104 catches for 1,382 yards and an FBS-leading 16 touchdowns in 12 games. If Nash does in fact sign with the Falcons, he'll look to establish himself as the go-to option out of the slot for quarterback Michael Penix.

  • Xavier Restrepo: Teaming up with Ward again

    Restrepo is slated to sign with the Titans as an undrafted free agent, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Operating with No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward last season at Miami, Restrepo recorded 69 catches for 1,127 yards and 11 touchdowns in 12 games. With the effort, Restrepo surpassed Reggie Wayne for the most receiving yards (2,884) in school history and also set the all-time mark for receptions. At the combine, Rrestrepo measured in at 5-foot-10, 209 pounds, meaning he's likely destined for the slot in the NFL while reuniting with Ward in Tennessee.

  • Dominic Lovett WR | DET

    Lions' Dominic Lovett: Lions add Round 7 wideout

    The Lions selected Lovett in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 244th overall.

    There was a time where Lovett (5-foot-10, 185 pounds) appeared headed toward something more like the first round of the draft, because during his sophomore year at Missouri he caught 56 receptions for 846 yards and three touchdowns on 74 targets (75.7 percent catch rate, 11.4 yards per target) -- excellent figures for a true sophomore in the SEC. Lovett's production largely fell apart from that point, though -- Lovett transferred to Georgia for his junior season, but drops were a recurring issue, and in his senior season Lovett's yards-per-target figure dropped all the way to 6.5. The Lions will presumably try to work Lovett in the slot, where perhaps his hands improve so that Lovett can fully capitalize on his 4.40 speed.

  • Rams' Konata Mumpfield: Productive wideout scooped by Rams

    The Rams selected Mumpfield in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 242nd overall.

    Mumpfield led Akron as a freshman with 63 receptions for 751 yards and eight touchdowns. He spent the next three seasons as a starter at Pittsburgh, rotating between reps outside and in the slot and leading the team in receiving as a senior. His NFL Combine performance left a lot to be desired, as he ran a 4.59 40-yard dash at 5-foot-11, 186 pounds, but he was consistently productive across his entire collegiate career. His main feature is his route-running ability, and now he'll get to learn behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in Los Angeles as he vies for a roster spot during training camp.

  • Kaden Prather WR | BUF

    Bills' Kaden Prather: Late-round pick for Buffalo

    The Bills selected Prather in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 240th overall.

    Prather had a productive career at West Virginia and Maryland, topping 50 catches in three of his four years between the two schools. He has an old-school profile, relying on length and speed to beat defenders outside the numbers. It remains to be seen if he can stick in Buffalo, particularly considering the relatively similar playing style to Keon Coleman, but Prather should be able to compete for the fifth wide receiver role.

  • Seahawks' Ricky White: Seahawks add punt-blocking wideout

    The Seahawks selected White in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 238th overall.

    White (6-foot-1, 184 pounds) tanked his draft stock with a disappointing showing at the NFL Combine, where he logged a 4.61-second 40-yard dash. It was a letdown because White was a dominant wideout at UNLV, where since 2023 he produced 167 receptions for 2,524 yards and 19 touchdowns on 264 targets (63.3 percent catch rate, 9.6 yards per target) and matched the production of New England third-round pick Kyle Williams when the two were both on the UNLV roster. Similarly intriguing is the fact that White initially played for Michigan State, and during his true freshman year White torched Michigan for eight catches, 196 yards and one touchdown on 10 targets before bizarrely playing only two more games for Michigan State and transferring to UNLV. White's pass-catching abilities might not translate to the NFL, but he should at the very least stick around on special teams, because White is an uncanny punt blocker after knocking down four in 2024.

  • Tez Johnson WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Tez Johnson: Headed to Tampa Bay

    The Buccaneers selected Johnson in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 235th overall.

    Johnson started his college career with Troy in 2020 before transferring to Oregon in 2023. He primarily played in the slot position for the Ducks and demonstrated chemistry with Bo Nix, with Johnson setting a single-season school receptions record in 2023 (86). Johnson followed that up with a strong 2024 campaign, catching 83 passes for 898 yards and 10 touchdowns over 12 games, and he was named as the Big Ten Championship Game MVP. Johnson has explosive burst at the snap and gives defenders trouble in the open field, but he'll need to firm up his route running to see consistent snaps at the NFL level. He faces an uphill battle in seeing offensive snaps in his rookie season in Tampa Bay but could serve as the team's top punt returner.
