UDFA & rookie camp invites that have NFL active roster potential

The 2026 NFL Draft is now in the books, but the fun isn't over yet. Now, teams can begin to search for hidden gems that didn't have the luxury of being drafted for one reason or another. Athletes will be brought in to camp to compete for an NFL active roster spot. The goal is to get your name called, but signing as a UDFA is sometimes the best route, giving the player full control over their destiny and where they think the best situation is.

So, who are some of the biggest names that didn't get drafted that we think have a very real possibility of seeing action on an NFL field in a meaningful game?

Vinny Anthony II - WR, Wisconsin, (Atlanta Falcons)

Anthony is not the biggest by any stretch, standing at barely six feet tall and weighing 183 pounds. He isn't the fastest wide receiver in the country, running a 4.54 forty-yard dash. As a four-year player, he has only had 80 catches for 1,162 yards in his career. A lot of the time, he telegraphs his routes, and the blocking is almost nonexistent.

Even with mediocre speed, he has a great burst off the line of scrimmage and can reaccelerate just as well as anyone in the country. He has great hands and rarely puts the ball on the ground. His weaknesses are all things that can be tweaked, and this is why we think any team would be lucky to have him in camp working on his craft.

Miller Moss - QB, Louisville, (Chicago Bears)

Miller Moss was not listed as a top ten NFL Draft prospect quarterback by any outlet. He is 6 feet 1 inch tall, which is below average for the NFL. His arm strength is not considered to be a weapon by any means, and he is loose with the football when escaping the pocket. What he does very well is have the consistency that coaches look for, especially on deep balls. He also has a very quick release, and being in Chicago with Ben Jonson could prove very beneficial.

Kyron Drones - QB, Virginia Tech, (Green Bay Packers)

Kyron Drones may have just taken the best situation for him by signing as a UDFA in . He is very athletic, has great arm strength, and keeps his eyes downfield. Although he can hold the ball for too long at times, he has a decent internal clock, and Green Bay is pretty good at meshing QBs into what they think they can be by tapping into their best traits and abilities.
