Nesbit signed a reserve/future contract with the Vikings on Monday.
Nesbit didn't hear his name being called during the 2025 NFL Draft but still managed to catch on with the Vikings in late April. He spent his entire rookie season on the team's practice squad and was not elevated to the active roster. He'll participate in offseason activities with Minnesota and aim to crack the 53-man roster for the 2026 campaign.

Bryson Nesbit: Unable to make 53-man roster
Rotowire
The Vikings waived Nesbit on Tuesday.
Nesbit tied for second on the Vikings during the preseason with 73 receiving yards, scoring once on five receptions. The undrafted rookie's biggest knock coming out of North Carolina was his run blocking, and he seemingly didn't prove enough this summer, getting beat out by fellow undrafted rookie Benjamin Yurosek for the No. 3 tight end role. Nesbit may have an opportunity to stick around on the practice squad.
