Seahawks, Dolphins, Panthers Reported With Top NFL 2025 UDFA Classes

The 2025 NFL undrafted free agent (UDFA) classes of several teams have drawn positive attention, with the Miami Dolphins, Seattle Seahawks, and Carolina Panthers all receiving high rankings from analyst Thor Nystrom. The Dolphins' UDFA class is rated as the best in the AFC and fifth in the NFL, notable for wide receivers Wease Jr. and Armstrong who bring a unique skill set, and cornerback B.J. Adams who has potential to continue Miami’s tradition of successful UDFA cornerbacks. The Seattle Seahawks boast a top-three UDFA class, highlighted by defensive lineman Jared Ivey and cornerback Zy Alexander, both of whom could compete for roster spots, complementing a strong draft class that includes promising players like Grey Zabel and quarterback Jalen Milroe. Veteran Seahawks defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins recently re-signed for a second season, expressing optimism about the defense's potential to improve on last year’s solid performance. Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers also rank seventh in UDFA classes, with guard Luke Kandra, kicker Ryan Fitzgerald, and interior defensive lineman Jared Harrison-Hunte standing out as promising contributors. These evaluations underscore the significant impact that undrafted players can have on team depth and future success, alongside traditional draft picks.
