Eight BYU Football players get UDFA opportunities

Former BYU standouts defensive end Tyler Batty, cornerback Jakob Robinson, and offensive lineman Caleb Etienne all found NFL homes as undrafted free agents following the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay. 

Batty was scooped up by the Minnesota Vikings after the draft, along with Jakob Robinson getting signed by the San Francisco 49ers, and Caleb Etienne landing with the Bengals.

This was the first time since 2020 that no BYU player was taken in the NFL Draft. However, many undrafted players have gone on to have outstanding NFL careers.  

Four other BYU players received rookie mini camp invites around the league. Darius Lassiter will be with the Philadelphia Eagles. Brayden Keim can go with either the Bears or Chiefs. Blake Mangelson will look to join Batty in Minnesota and Connor Pay will be with the Las Vegas Raiders. 

BYU defensive back Marquee Collins will go to the CFL's Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He played one year in Provo after transferring from Weber State, but made a strong impact throughout the 2024 season.
