The Chiefs made a total of seven selections during the draft, and they will be joined by 16 undrafted free agents at rookie minicamp. Here is a look at Kansas City’s 2025 UDFA class:
- Elijhah Badger, WR (Florida)
- Jake Briningstool, TE (Clemson)
- Will Brooks, S (Tennessee)
- Dalton Cooper, T (Oklahoma State)
- Jacobe Covington, S (USC)
- Eddie Czaplicki, P (USC)
- Mac Dalena, WR (Fresno State)
- Brandon George, LB (Pittsburgh)
- Coziah Izzard, DT (Penn State)
- Kevin Knowles, DB (Florida State)
- Justin Lockhart, WR (San Jose State)
- Glendon Miller, S (Maryland)
- Esa Pole, T (Washington State)
- Melvin Smith, CB (Northern Arkansas)
- Tre Watson, TE (Texas A&M)
- Elijah Young, RB (Western Kentucky)
Of the names on this list, at least six have received a six-figure commitment from Kansas City. The most lucrative pact – in terms of guarantees – is the one for Briningstool, with Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 reporting he received a total of $264K locked in. Watson, meanwhile, landed $249K in guarantees (per Wilson). They will both look to earn a roster spot as a depth tight end option.
Wilson reports Cooper secured a $20K signing bonus as part of his $259K in total guarantees. The 24-year-old spent the first four seasons of his college career at Texas State before playing pair of seasons with the Cowboys. At 6-6 and 326 pounds, he could look to earn a place on the roster as a swing tackle or compete for playing time at guard.
Izzard landed $225K in guarantees, Wilson adds. His 4.85 40-yard dash time from Penn State’s Pro Day is an indication of his athleticism, something which could earn him a spot on the D-tackle depth chart. According to Wilson, meanwhile, Knowles received a $20K signing bonus along with $200K in guaranteed salary.
Czaplicki’s base salary for 2025 includes $95K locked in; Wilson adds his pact also contains a $5K signing bonus. Matt Araiza operated as the Chiefs’ punter last season, producing a net average of 41.5 net yards per punt. 25 this season, Araiza will have competition during training camp.
First Rice, then Worthy… so the real question is who will be the next Chiefs WR to have legal problems?
I’m sure you must have missed that the charges against Worthy were dropped and the judge refused to take the case due to the video evidence. But go ahead…
Yeah but how is Jovan Belcher’s girlfriend doing?
He never took the field after he death. What’s your point?
Belcher wasn’t a WR, but way to keep it classy Druuu, talking about two people who are deceased.
also Patrick Mahomes half brother is going to be in camp as a wide receiver. NO it’s not the tiktok brother!
