Falcons, Lions, Chiefs, Steelers Sign Notable UDFAs Amid Roster Changes

News summary

Several NFL teams are looking to undrafted free agents (UDFAs) to potentially bolster their rosters ahead of the 2025 season. The Atlanta Falcons signed cornerback Cobee Bryant, who was surprisingly undrafted despite a productive college career and is seen as having a real chance to make the final roster thanks to his athleticism and confidence. The Detroit Lions brought in Indiana TE/FB Zach Horton, whose blocking ability and physicality align well with the team’s run-heavy strategy, giving him a legitimate opportunity to stick with the team. The Kansas City Chiefs are giving tight end Jake Briningstool a chance to compete for backup reps behind Travis Kelce, citing his reliable receiving skills and route-running intelligence. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers made a notable investment in DJ Thomas-Jones, offering him a record-setting UDFA contract for a non-quarterback; his versatility as a tight end, H-back, and special teamer could help him fill the fullback role in a physical, run-first offense. While all these UDFAs face steep competition, their unique skills and team fits provide them with opportunities to earn spots on NFL rosters.
