WR Eric McAlister Broke His Foot at TCU’s Pro Day

He projects as a Day 3 (Rounds 4-7) pick, or going as an undrafted free agent, according to multiple projections. He could be a sleeper in a deep class at wide receiver, with his Yards After Catch being his strong suit.

McAlister played three seasons at Boise State before transferring to TCU. He made 72 receptions for 1,190 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2025, earning All-America honors.

McAlister did have off-field issues to address in his pre-draft interviews with NFL teams. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of terroristic threat causing fear of imminent serious bodily injury in 2024, and soon after, was arrested for violating conditions of his bond after his urine tested positive for THC, per The Athletic.
