Following the 2025 NFL draft, the annual scramble among teams to sign the best remaining players for their most pressing needs begins. While Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier has received a ton of criticism over the years for his ability to make the correct selections in the draft, he has had a decent knack for finding players with NFL-level talent from the UDFA pool over the same period. Below is the list of this year's group of UDFA’s for the Dolphins-

  • Andrew Armstrong, WR, Arkansas- Armstrong was the leading receiver in the SEC last season, catching 78 of 118 balls for 1140 yards. One of the knocks on Armstrong was that he only scored a single touchdown last season, but for context, Arkansas was a run-first team that hammered the ball in the red zone. He is known for breaking the first tackle. Armstrong has only six drops in the previous two seasons and a solid 62.1% contested catch rate in 2024. He ran a 4.51 40 at 6’4 205 lbs. Projected as a 6th-round pick.
  • Jalin Conyers, TE, Texas Tech- 6’3, 260 lbs. Jalin has experience running the Wildcat and can run, catch, and throw the ball effectively. He was considered a player who needed work on his inconsistent pass blocking and route running, but also one who could be a surprise at the next level. He was projected as a 6th- to 7th-round pick.
  • BJ Adams, CB, UCF- 6’2, 187 lbs. A player that the Dolphins brought in for one of their top 30 visits. He specializes in man coverage, is a physical player, and is a solid tackler, missing no tackles last season. Has experience and is a solid special-teams player. Projected as a 4th to 5th round pick.
  • John Saunders Jr, S, Ole Miss- 6’2, 210 lbs. He is explosive and known as a ballhawk. Had three interceptions and four forced fumbles in 2024. Operates well in either zone or man schemes. Often worked covering the slot with success and is solid in run support. He was considered a draftable player after the 2023 season. Projected as a late-round draft pick this year.
  • Eugene Asante, LB, Auburn- 6’1, 223 lbs. Has a ton of special-teams experience with 727 snaps on ST in college. Ran a solid 4.48 40. Has a solid missed tackle rate of 11.3%. While sometimes spotty in coverage has a ton of upside as an explosive blitzer. His possible addition to the final roster could spell the end of Channing Tindall as a member of the Miami Dolphins.
  • Theo Wease Jr, WR, Missouri- 6’3, 200 lbs. He is a physical wideout with solid hands, able to catch balls at their high point, but lacks explosive speed. Miami clearly liked Wease, giving him $ 230,000 to sign as an undrafted free agent.
  • Ethan Robinson, CB, Minnesota- 5’11, 191 lbs. Has solid ball skills but is undersized as a DB on the outside. If he hopes to...
