The 1 UDFA with Best Chance to Make the Roster in Every NFL Team's Training Camp
Everyone loves an underdog story, and there are hundreds of undrafted free agents who will be trying to pull one off across 32 NFL training camps.
The vast majority of those players will be on a practice squad or face the end of the line once teams cut their active rosters down to 53 players. Still, a few UDFAs wind up making it through final cuts every season.
Take Minnesota Vikings linebacker Ivan Pace Jr., for instance. Despite being an undrafted free agent, he climbed up the Vikings' depth chart and wound up starting 11 games as a rookie.
With training camps now well underway, we'll take a look at the undrafted free agent who has the best shot at making each team's 53-man roster. Whether it's the buzz that they're already generating, the state of their team's roster or some untapped upside, there's a case to be made for all 32 of these players to be the next underdog to beat the odds.
Arizona Cardinals: WR Xavier Weaver
1 of 32
Scouts are all over Colorado star Travis Hunter for the 2025 NFL draft, but Xavier Weaver led the Buffs in receiving this past season. After spending four years at USF, Weaver transferred to Colorado and hauled in 68 receptions for 908 yards and four touchdowns.
Weaver doesn't have prototypical size. At 6'1" and 180 pounds, he has a wiry frame that likely dropped him on some draft boards. Putting that aside, he's a smooth route-runner with multiple releases that help him get open.
The Arizona Cardinals' receiving corps is relatively young, which could work to Weaver's advantage. Marvin Harrison Jr., Zay Jones, Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch figure to be the top targets. From there, Weaver will need to beat out the likes of Chris Moore, Zach Pascal and sixth-round pick Tejhaun Palmer.
Atlanta Falcons: CB Jayden Price
2 of 32
The Atlanta Falcons are still trying to find answers at the cornerback position. AJ Terrell and Clark Phillips figure to be part of the long-term picture, but there is room for other young cornerbacks to emerge.
So when it comes time for new head coach Raheem Morris to lock in the final 53 players on the roster, there's a chance they'll be looking to keep an extra cornerback if they believe in him.
Jayden Price has an opportunity to prove he could be that guy. The 6'0", 184-pound corner played 71 games at North Dakota State. Price returned punts for the Bison over the last three years.
His ability to return punts and potentially kickoffs could create the opportunity he needs to stick on the roster.
Baltimore Ravens: S Beau Brade
3 of 32
The Baltimore Ravens have a nice trio of safeties at the top of the depth chart in Kyle Hamilton, Marcus Williams and Eddie Jackson. They employed plenty of three-safety looks that took advantage of Hamilton's versatility last season.
With Jackson replacing Geno Stone, the Ravens might want to ensure that they have proper depth at the position. That's how Beau Brade could wind up making the roster.
Brade has some versatility himself. According to Pro Football Focus, he lined up in the slot, as a box safety and deep at Maryland. He showed the ability to stick his nose in the run game while also carrying tight ends up the seam.
The Ravens' recent signing of Jackson could complicate Brade's path to a roster spot. Ar'Darius Washington will likely be the fourth safety, so Brade will have to convince the coaching staff that he's worth keeping on as a fifth safety.

Buffalo Bills: WR Xavier Johnson, Ohio State
4 of 32
It's no secret that the Buffalo Bills wide receiver room is shaping up to be much different in 2024. Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis are gone. That should create a general shift up the depth chart as Khalil Shakir and rookie Keon Coleman are now the top players at the position.
Curtis Samuel was a good free agent addition who will presumably take over the No. 3 role. After that, there's a chance for any combination of Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Chase Claypool, Justin Shorter, Tyrell Shavers, KJ Hamler and undrafted free agent Xavier Johnson.
Johnson was not heavily involved in Ohio State's offense last season, but that's not the worst thing in the world. It's hard to get noticed when you are on an offense that features Marvin Harrison Jr., Emeka Egbuka and Cade Stover.
Johnson has a great frame at 6'1", 210 pounds and it's not hard to envision a scenario where he's a better special teams player with a higher ceiling than other receivers in the room.
Carolina Panthers: CB Willie Drew
5 of 32
The Carolina Panthers don't have much in the way of proven cornerback depth. Dicaprio Bootle is likely their top reserve outside corner, and he's played only 221 defensive snaps in the first three years of his career.
That could open an opportunity for someone unexpected to make the roster. Willie Drew could be the beneficiary after going undrafted out of Virginia State.
Drew was one of the top prospects to come out of an HBCU this season. He was invited to the Senior Bowl and drew some attention at the combine with a 4.46-second 40 yard dash at 6'0" and 191 pounds.
He could find himself on Carolina's final 53-man roster if he proves that his athleticism can translate into even passable coverage on the outside.
Chicago Bears: CB Reddy Steward
6 of 32
Ball production is a quick way for a defensive back to draw some attention. That's never been a problem for cornerback Reddy Steward, who had seven interceptions and 22 passes defended over his final two seasons at Troy.
He's continued that trend at Chicago Bears training camp. Kevin Fishbain and Adam Jahns of The Athletic recognized Steward for an interception that he made on Caleb Williams in seven-on-seven drills before noting that he's had a strong camp thus far.
Steward will need to continue showing out to make the team. His play at corner will help, but he's facing some tough competition in Jaylon Jones and Josh Blackwell.
The Bears kept six corners on their initial 53-man roster last season. If they decide to go with seven this season, Steward could be in direct competition to steal that final spot.
Cincinnati Bengals: P Austin McNamara
7 of 32
It could be difficult for most of the Cincinnati Bengals' undrafted free agents to make the final roster. Cincinnati has a deep roster, and the injuries they dealt with last season only served to enrich that depth.
That leaves punter Austin McNamara with the best opportunity to snag a roster spot. He'll be competing with 2023 draft pick Brad Robbins. It's not a foregone conclusion that Robbins will be the punter just because they used a draft pick on him last season.
According to ESPN Stats & Info, the Bengals had the league's worst opponent starting field position following a punt.
McNamara didn't get drafted, but comes to the Bengals on the heels of a successful career with the Texas Tech Red Raiders. He was a three-time first-team All-Big 12 selection and has the 10th-highest career average for punters with at least 150 career punts. His combination of hang time, distance and command should help him make a strong case.
Cleveland Browns: IOL Javion Cohen
8 of 32
Interior offensive line was a sneaky need for the Cleveland Browns in this year's draft. Joel Bitonio and Wyatt Teller remain one of the best guard duos in the league, but they can't play forever. Bitonio is turning 33 in October, while Teller will turn 30 in November.
The Browns might have found a young project to fill out the depth chart after the draft in Javion Cohen. The 6'4", 322-pound guard got starting experience at Alabama before transferring to Miami ahead of the 2023 season.
B/R scout Brandon Thorn described Cohen as "a strapping, physical, heavy-handed and heavy-footed presence at guard who can bang and plug gaps against pure power rushers and run defenders" in his scouting report.
Cohen doesn't have the easiest path to a roster spot, especially after the Browns drafted fellow guard Zak Zinter with a third-round pick, but he has some tools to impress the coaching staff in training camp.
Dallas Cowboys: TE Brevyn Spann-Ford
9 of 32
Sometimes an undrafted free agent's best path to a roster spot lies in a specific strength that gives them a niche. In the case of Brevyn Spann-Ford, that niche could be the fact that he's a 6'6½", 260-pound tight end whom Derrik Klassen of the B/R NFL Scouting Department described as a "de facto sixth offensive lineman" in his scouting report.
Blocking is always going to be a marketable skill for a tight end. The Cowboys coaching staff should like how Spann-Ford could be useful in goal-line and short-yardage situations while absorbing some of the dirty work that might otherwise be on Jake Ferguson's plate.
Ferguson and 2023 second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker are the locks to make Dallas' roster. The other options to be the third tight end are former undrafted free agents themselves in John Stephens Jr. and Peyton Hendershot.
Who wins the job will likely come down to what the Cowboys want out of their third tight end.
Denver Broncos: RB Blake Watson
10 of 32
Jaleel McLaughlin was one of the top UDFA success stories last season. Now, the Broncos might have found another underrated weapon after the draft in Blake Watson.
Watson possesses a similar frame to McLaughlin at 5'9" and 195 pounds. He's a converted wide receiver who racked up 1,632 yards from scrimmage and 17 touchdowns in his final season at Memphis.
Watson's ability to work as a receiver should help him as he competes for a role in Sean Payton's offense. The Broncos have an experienced duo at the top of the depth chart in Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine. However, they could save $3 million in cap space by releasing Perine, who's set to turn 29 in September.
If the Broncos decide to go young at the position, they could part ways with Perine and open the door to give Watson a shot. It would be cost-effective, and they just might find another playmaker at the position.
Detroit Lions: IOL Kingsley Eguakun
11 of 32
Making the roster for a team with aspirations like the Detroit Lions won't be easy for any undrafted free agent, but Kingsley Eguakun has a shot given their needs at center.
Eguakun, who came in at No. 210 on the final B/R big board, is one of three undrafted free agents whom the Lions signed at the pivot this year. B/R scout Brandon Thorn described him as, "a scrappy, charged-up blocker with good initial burst out of his stance and heavy, stubborn hands to deliver jolt on contact."
That sounds like the kind of player whom Lions head coach Dan Campbell can get on board with. He went undrafted because he's relatively undersized and he wasn't the most consistent blocker, but Detroit's coaching staff that loves physicality and toughness.
Eguakun brings both to the table.
Green Bay Packers: OL Donovan Jennings
12 of 32
The Green Bay Packers have loaded up on offensive line talent, so Donovan Jennings' path to the roster is admittedly full of obstacles. But the Packers have proven to be one of the best teams at molding offensive linemen and finding roles for them.
Jennings has a lot of raw material to work with. The former South Florida tackle has a great frame to kick inside to guard. His 9.68 relative athletic score in predraft testing showcased his athletic upside.
The Packers will have multiple rookies trying to earn a roster spot. First-round pick Jordan Morgan is an obvious lock, but Jacob Monk (fifth round) and Travis Glover (sixth round) are both Day 3 picks who will have to show out in camp to earn a roster spot.
If Jennings proves to be more ready than either of the other rookies, it's not hard to envision him being one of 10 offensive linemen whom the Packers carry into Week 1.
Houston Texans: LB Max Tooley
13 of 32
Max Tooley's path to making the Houston Texans' roster lies in his ability to play special teams and his pass coverage.
Being a bottom-of-the-depth-chart linebacker in the league usually entails playing just about everywhere on special teams. At 6'2" and 225 pounds with a reasonable 4.58-second 40-yard dash, Tooley should be able to contribute in that department.
Tooley also had solid ball production for a linebacker at BYU with seven career interceptions and eight pass breakups. He's already earned a shoutout from veteran safety Jimmie Ward for the skills he's shown in camp.
It doesn't hurt that his primary competition for a roster spot might come from fellow rookie Jamal Hill, who was only a sixth-round pick.
Indianapolis Colts: IOL Dalton Tucker
14 of 32
The Indianapolis Colts showed interest in Dalton Tucker before the draft by hosting him for a Top 30 visit. Then they gave him significantly more guaranteed money ($240,000) than any of their other undrafted free agents.
Money talks, and the Colts have given every indication that they really like Tucker.
The Colts will return all five starters on the offensive line. That gives them a bit of room to keep an offensive lineman who might be a bit of a project.
Tucker would qualify. He's a decent athlete with good explosiveness who could become something more with time and development.
Jacksonville Jaguars: WR Joshua Cephus
15 of 32
The Jacksonville Jaguars brought in Gabe Davis and drafted Brian Thomas Jr. this offseason. It's clear they were looking for a big-bodied vertical threat.
While Davis and Thomas figure to be key cogs in the Jaguars offense, the Jags will likely want at least one other receiver on the depth chart with a similar game. That's where Joshua Cephus comes into play.
Cephus has been seen at training camp putting in extra work with quarterback Trevor Lawrence and holds several UTSA receiving records. He is a bit wiry at 6'2" and 189 pounds, but he could still contribute to special teams while adding strength and size.
The fact that Cephus didn't get drafted with his size and production just shows how deep this wide receiver class was. He could still wind up proving himself worthy of being on the roster.
Kansas City Chiefs: LB Curtis Jacobs
16 of 32
Linebackers who can run fast and cover always have a path to making an NFL roster. If the special teams coordinator is singing the praises of said linebacker, that's an even better sign.
Kansas City Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub will likely have a lot of say over the final few spots on the 53-man roster. He's already mentioned Curtis Jacobs as a linebacker to watch while speaking to reporters at camp.
Jacobs isn't just a special teams signing, though. He has real upside as a linebacker thanks to his ability to work in space and cover.
Jacobs is a little shorter for the position at 6'1" and 241 pounds, but he makes up for it with 4.5-second 40-yard dash speed and the agility to cover tight ends and running backs in space. With Nick Bolton set to hit free agency in 2025, the Chiefs might see Jacobs as a worthwhile investment on the active roster.
Las Vegas Raiders: WR Tulu Griffin
17 of 32
We'll defer to B/R's Matt Holder here and go with former Mississippi State wide receiver Tulu Griffin. Cornerback Ja'Quan Sheppard and tackle Andrew Coker also have a shot as talented prospects at positions where the Las Vegas Raiders still need to find long-term answers.
As Holder noted, the Raiders have already taken some hits at receiver that have helped Griffin's chances of making the roster. Veteran wideout Michael Gallup retired, while Jalen Guyton began training camp on the PUP list.
Griffin brings some interesting tools to the table. He has some solid route-running chops out of the slot and 4.43 speed. The X-factor that might tip the scales in his factor is his experience as a kick returner, though.
Griffin had two kick return touchdowns at Mississippi State, and the NFL's new kickoff rules makes it easier to justify keeping a guy around who can make those kind of plays.
Los Angeles Chargers: IOL Karsen Barnhart
18 of 32
Karsen Barnhart has the rare advantage of having played for his NFL head coach less than a year ago. He'll be one of the Michigan transplants who will get a shot at being part of Jim Harbaugh's transition back to the NFL.
Barnhart was a vital piece of the offensive line that helped Michigan win a national championship last season. He started 15 games at three different positions as the Wolverines' physicality up front paved the way to a title.
Barnhart's versatility and familiarity with Harbaugh's scheme and terminology should give him a leg up on the competition. He's already repped at guard and taken snaps at center even though he is currently dealing with an injury in camp.
The injury won't help Barnhart's cause, but his athleticism, familiarity with the coaching staff and ability to play multiple position leaves the door open for him to earn a roster spot.
Los Angeles Rams: S Kenny Logan Jr.
19 of 32
Safety seems like one of the Los Angeles Rams' biggest weaknesses right now. They used a third-round pick on safety Kamren Kinchens, and he could wind up a being a starter early in his rookie career.
Fortunately, they might have stumbled on some additional depth with undrafted free agent Kenny Logan Jr. The Kansas Jayhawk was the eighth-highest-graded safety on the final B/R big board.
"Overall, the best part of Logan's game is how he plays the run," B/R scout Cory Giddings wrote in his scouting report for Logan. "A fearless defender, he shoots the gaps and does his best to correct the teammates in front of him."
That fearlessness should translate into a good special teams player whose athleticism and willingness to come up and tackle will earn him a roster spot.
Miami Dolphins: S Mark Perry
20 of 32
Versatiliy, athleticism and tackling ability are three traits that can help a UDFA earn one of the final spots on a 53-man roster. Safety Mark Perry has all of them.
The first thing you notice about Perry is his size. At 6'0" and 213 pounds, he is big enough to play close to the line of scrimmage. Both Colorado and TCU took advantage of that by giving Perry snaps in the slot, in the box and deep.
Then you look at Perry's predraft testing—he earned a 9.59 relative athletic score with a 4.40-second 40—and it's easy to see why the Miami Dolphins wanted to bring him in.
The Dolphins have some older veterans at the position in Jordan Poyer and Marcus Maye who are roster locks but won't want to play special teams. Perry should be on nearly every special teams play and could push to get a few defensive reps as well.
Minnesota Vikings: Edge Gabriel Murphy
21 of 32
Gabriel Murphy was the 13th-ranked edge defender and 132nd overall prospect on B/R's final big board, which made it surprising that he went undrafted to begin with.
Murphy is a bit unrefined as a pass-rusher and needs technique work to make the most of his athletic ability. However, he still wound up with eight sacks and 16 tackles for a loss for the Bruins last season.
B/R's Matt Holder believes Murphy has the potential to develop into "an effective third-down rusher in the NFL". That's a role that the Minnesota Vikings could need help filling by the end of the season.
The Vikings have a solid trio of pass-rushers in Jonathan Greenard, Andrew Van Ginkel and Dallas Turner, but there's a fairly steep drop-off after those three. That might help Murphy earn a roster spot.
New England Patriots: TE Jacob Warren
22 of 32
Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper will be the New England Patriots' top two tight ends. They are an experienced duo, but neither is known as a powerful blocker. That adds intrigue to the battle for the third tight end spot.
Seventh-round pick Jaheim Bell figures to make a case, but he's more of an F than an in-line blocker at 6'2" and 241 pounds. He adds some juice as a receiver, but it's unclear if that's the missing piece of the Patriots' tight end puzzle.
That's why Jacob Warren could be a surprise inclusion on the Patriots' final 53-man roster. Bell's draft stock hardly makes him a roster lock, and Warren provides more upside as a pure blocker with the size to play in-line at 6'6" and 251 pounds.
Playing at Tennessee afforded Warren the chance to show he can be a passing option, too. He was not a primary option, but he did get to play split out as a receiver.
New Orleans Saints: TE Dallin Holker
23 of 32
Dallin Holker was the highest-ranked tight end from B/R's final big board who went undrafted. He was 10th among the tight ends and 191st overall while drawing a Jake Ferguson comparison from B/R scout Derrik Klassen.
The Colorado State prospect is 24 years old and doesn't have great size for a tight end (6'3", 241 pounds). However, he is a natural receiver who caught 64 passes for 767 yards and six touchdowns during his final season in college.
Holker's ability to generate some hype considering the rest of the Saints' tight end room. Juwan Johnson is a steady starter, while Taysom Hill continues to be a part-time tight end.
Johnson has been on the physically unable to perform list during training camp, so Holker is getting a chance to show what he can do.
New York Giants: DT Casey Rogers
24 of 32
The New York Giants have one of the best interior defenders in the league in Dexter Lawrence. It doesn't take long for the position group to get uninspiring after him, though.
Rakeem Nunez-Roches and Jordan Phillips are the next two interior defenders in the rotation, almost by default. After that trio, there's a significant drop-off in experience.
D.J. Davidson and Jordon Riley are both former Day 3 picks who haven't done enough to have a roster spot on lock. That could open the door for Casey Rogers to claim one.
Rogers had only three sacks and 12 tackles for a loss during his time at Nebraska and Oregon. However, he finished the predraft process with the 34th-highest relative athletic score of any defensive tackle prospect since 1987. That included an 35" vertical and 9'8" broad jump.
The Giants could use that type of explosiveness on their depth chart at defensive tackle.
New York Jets: DL Leonard Taylor III
25 of 32
Leonard Taylor III was the highest-graded player on the final B/R big board who went undrafted. He got some first-round hype early in the draft process, but NFL teams clearly had some reservations about him.
The 6'3", 305-pound defensive lineman was a problem in the ACC as a sophomore in 2022. He had 10.5 tackles for loss, three sacks and an interception while showing an explosive first step.
Unfortunately, he didn't build off that success and appeared slower on film. B/R's Matt Holder still believes there's a path for Taylor to become a productive NFL player, though.
"Overall, Taylor has the potential to be a fairly complete player," Holder wrote in his scouting report for Taylor. "He has a good frame, is hard to move with one-on-one blocks against the run and has shown a few pass-rush moves he can win with."
The Jets need some upside on the interior. Quinnen Williams is the foundation of the position group, but the rest of the group isn't all that exciting. Taylor's upside should help him challenge for a roster spot.
Philadelphia Eagles: DT Gabe Hall
26 of 32
Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman is always on the lookout for depth along the defensive front. The Eagles boasted the NFL's deepest defensive line during their run to the Super Bowl in 2022. That depth has taken a hit over the last two offseasons.
Signing someone like Gabe Hall could help. The Baylor product has great length for the position at 6'6" with 34⅜" arms. He's adept at using that length to create separation and play the run well.
That could help Hall get on the field early, but his potential to upgrade his pass-rushing game could tip the scales in his favor on cut day. He was listed among college football's best athletes by The Athletic's Bruce Feldman for his incredible weight room numbers and being clocked at 19.9 mph on a GPS.
Given his length and athleticism, Hall could have some untapped potential to become a serviceable interior pass-rusher.
Pittsburgh Steelers: CB Beanie Bishop Jr.
27 of 32
Beanie Bishop Jr. has a great chance of landing on the Pittsburgh Steelers' final 53-man roster. As Alan Saunders of Steelers Now noted, Bishop is the only rookie who's regularly getting reps with the first team.
Bishop has worked his way into the team's starting nickel role in camp. The Steelers' decision to release veteran slot corner Josiah Scott seems to signal what they think of Bishop.
The 5'9", 182-pound corner ran a blazing fast 4.39-second 40 in the predraft process. He's a fierce competitor who plays much more physically than expected for someone his size.
Bishop's willingness to mix it up with receivers, and the general youth movement in the Steelers cornerback room, have him headed for an actual role on the defense.
San Francisco 49ers: DT Evan Anderson
28 of 32
Money talks in the UDFA process. Teams often drop hints about how much they like a player based on the guaranteed money they hand out.
Some UDFAs get only $1,000 guaranteed when they sign their contracts. The San Francisco 49ers gave defensive tackle Evan Anderson a guaranteed $280,000. Teams generally don't give out that much to a player unless they have a plan in mind for them.
In the case of Anderson, it isn't hard to figure out that plan. Anderson is a run-stuffing specialist who has his weight down to 315 pounds after weighing over 350 pounds as a sophomore at Florida Atlantic.
Anderson isn't going to get after the quarterback, but the Niners don't have many true nose tackles on their roster. Anderson could easily win a roster spot playing that role.
Seattle Seahawks: Edge Nelson Ceaser
29 of 32
There's always the potential for some surprising roster moves when a new head coach takes over. In the case of the Seattle Seahawks, it will be particularly interesting to see what former defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald wants to do on his side of the ball.
That could make it possible for someone like Nelson Ceaser to sneak onto the roster with a strong camp.
Ceaser had great production as a pass-rusher at Houston. He's a bit undersized, but he had 9.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss in his final season with the Cougars. He finished his collegiate career with 18 sacks in total.
Ceasar doesn't bring much to the table as a run-defender. B/R's Matt Holder projected him as a pass-rush specialist while giving him a fourth-round grade. The Seahawks have a decent trio of edge rushers in Boye Mafe, Uchenna Nwosu and Darrell Taylor, but with everyone learning a new system, Ceaser will be on equal footing with other depth competition.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: LB Kalen DeLoach
30 of 32
Athletic linebackers who can run and tackle are always going to draw roster consideration. They are prime candidates to fit in on special teams in addition to adding depth on defense.
When one of those linebackers is also getting some opportunities in camp to play with the starters, it's an even better sign.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles is among the most aggressive defensive play-callers in the league. His love for blitzing should help Kalen DeLoach, who ran a 4.47-second 40 and had seven sacks in his final season with Florida State.
DeLoach also has decent film of using that athleticism to cover in the middle of the field. He finished his collegiate career with two interceptions and 11 passes defended while making 212 tackles.
That speed and versatility could help him make the Buccaneers' final roster.
Tennessee Titans: IOL Cole Spencer
31 of 32
There are a few things working for Cole Spencer to make the Tennessee Titans' roster.
The first is the coaching change for the Titans. Going from Mike Vrabel to Brian Callahan resets the player evaluation process and provides more even footing for all rookies who are trying to make the roster.
The other is that Bill Callahan is one of the best offensive line coaches in the business. So when the Titans give out more guaranteed money to a lineman than any of their other UDFA', it's worth noting.
Spencer played left tackle, left guard and right tackle in stops with Western Kentucky and Texas Tech. He does have an extensive injury history, which probably played a role in him going undrafted, but he ran a 4.89-second 40 and posted a 30.5" vertical at his pro day, giving a glimpse into his athleticism.
Washington Commanders: CB Chigozie Anusiem
32 of 32
Going undrafted isn't all bad. In fact, sometimes it's more lucrative than being drafted.
Case-in-point, Washington Commanders seventh-round pick Javontae Jean-Baptiste signed a four-year, $4.1 million contract with only $121,188 guaranteed. Meanwhile, Chigozie Anusiem got a three-year, $2.8 million contract that has $350,000 guaranteed.
It's the most guaranteed money that any team gave a UDFA this year. That usually indicates that the team doesn't plan to let the player get away by putting them on the practice squad.
It's not hard to see why Anusiem was worth the investment for Washington. He has a great build for the position (6'1", 200 pounds) and is a physical presence with the long speed to contribute on special teams.
Add in the fact that the Commanders cornerback room still has questionable depth, and Anusiem has a good shot at making the roster.
