The Jaguars signed Taylor as an undrafted free agent Sunday.

Taylor's 222 carries with Virginia in 2025 give him extensive experience to bring to the Jaguars' camp. The durable dual-threat running back may be undersized, but he holds onto the ball and plays with great physicality. Now officially a Jaguar, Taylor will compete with the rest of the running back room for potential meaningful snaps in 2026.

The Chargers signed Desrosiers as an undrafted free agent Saturday.

Desrosiers began his collegiate career at UMass before transferring to Memphis in 2024 for his final two seasons. While it will likely be a long shot for him to make the final roster, he could have a chance to land on their practice squad.

The Saints signed Donaldson as an undrafted free agent Sunday.

Donaldson played in 13 games for Ohio State in 2025, logging 96 carries for 361 rush yards and 10 rush touchdowns over his senior season. The 21-year-old spent the first three years of his collegiate career at West Virginia, logging 171 and 163 carries in his sophomore and junior seasons, respectively. As a well-built downhill back, his upside for the Saints comes as a depth option for short-yardage situations.

Henry is expected to sign with Washington as an undrafted free agent, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

Henry spent four years at Texas-San Antonio, rushing for a career-best 1,045 and nine touchdowns on 151 carries during the 2025 campaign. He will face an uphill battle to earn a roster spot but could be a practice squad candidate.

The Jaguars are slated to sign Taylor as an undrafted free agent, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.

Taylor excelled with Virginia last year, carrying 222 times for 1,062 yards (4.8 YPC) and an ACC-leading 14 rushing touchdowns. He added 43 catches for 253 yards and another score. Prior to last season, Taylor spent three seasons with North Carolina Central, and in his final year with the Eagles he tallied 1,146 yards on 196 carries (5.8 YPC) and 15 touchdowns. He's undersized at 5-foot-9 and 204 pounds but runs with physicality and has good footwork. He fumbled only twice on 577 rushes during his time in college.

Minnesota signed Owens as an undrafted free agent Saturday.

Owens spent his five collegiate seasons with Florida International and broke out in his first big opportunity as a senior, racking up 1,334 rushing yards with 11 touchdowns on 213 carries (6.3 YPC). He added 67 yards on 18 receptions as a pass catcher. Minnesota features Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason and Zavier Scott at RB, so Owens may need to earn his way to an opportunity on NFL gamedays via the practice squad.

Hemby is slated to sign with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Hemby is set to reunite with fellow national champion Fernando Mendoza in Vegas. The duo won the 2025 title in January, with Hemby leading the team in rushing. The running back also led Maryland in rushing for the three seasons he was a starter. The 23-year-old's 840 career touches provide a wealth of football experience. That experience shows that he does not fumble the football, does not drop passes and runs downhill with acceleration and strong contact balance. The most likely reason Hemby was not drafted is his lack of advanced field vision and inability to make many moves. All in all, Hemby's durability, experience and connection to Mendoza may mean he has a shot to supplant Mike Washington or Dylan Laube as the second running back option behind Ashton Jeanty.

Moss is slated to sign with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Moss was a starter for two-and-a-half years at Texas A&M. He managed to amass only 345 offensive touches in his collegiate career due to injuries like a torn UCL in 2024 and a knee injury in October 2025 that caused him to miss six games. When healthy, the 23-year-old's athletic frame and strong contact balance allow him to fully meet the physical demands of his position, particularly on the goal line (12 touchdowns on 16 carries over his last two seasons). If the Dolphins can alleviate his struggles as a pass blocker, Moss could eventually see the field on a regular basis as a second option back, more suited to short-yardage situations and relief carries. This role would provide strong synergy with the fast and elusive De'Von Achane, and if the Dolphins can also develop first-round offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor, the team's run game could become a catalyst for offensive success.

The Patriots selected Miller in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 245th overall.

Miller spent his entire four-year college career at Alabama, taking over a regular role on offense in 2024, resulting in 15 starts over the last two seasons. He possesses the size to handle the rigors of an NFL campaign at 5-foot-10, 209 pounds and does a good job with ball security (two fumbles in his college career) and falling forward on runs. On top of that, he put up an impressive 4.42 40-time at the NFL Combine. That said, he doesn't typically play as fast as his time and can struggle in pass blocking, hence his seventh-round selection. Miller will be tasked with etching out a role somewhere on the depth chart behind the two players locked in atop the running back room in Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.

The Colts selected McGowan in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 237th overall.

McGowan had a tumultuous college career, which saw him dismissed from Oklahoma's program after being arrested in April of 2021. He didn't see the field again until 2024 with New Mexico State and ended his college career with Kentucky in 2025, when he turned 165 carries into 725 yards and 12 touchdowns along with 19 catches for 126 yards over 11 games. McGowan has good size with a 6-foot, 223-pound frame, and he has the flexibility and strength to move around defenders, though he's not as explosive as other backfield prospects. There will be questions around his character heading into his NFL rookie season, but he'll have the opportunity to prove himself in Indianapolis, where he'll compete against DJ Giddens and Ulysses Bentley for rotational snaps behind lead back Jonathan Taylor.
