The UFL season has concluded, as the expansion Louisville Kings defeated the DC Defenders in the championship game last weekend. With the league’s season now over, a new crop of players has become available for NFL teams to sign. The Green Bay Packers have added plenty of spring league players over the years, with the most notable being punter Daniel Whelan. Lukas Havrisik, the team’s backup kicker, also came to Green Bay directly from the UFL.
So who is drawing NFL interest? Let’s take a look at which players have received tryouts (or contracts) from NFL teams thus far. We’ll continue to update this list as more information is reported.
The most recognizable name on this list is probably Hakeem Butler, who was a fourth-round pick in 2019 and was named the UFL’s Offensive Player of the Year in both 2024 and 2026. Generally, NFL teams tend to pick up younger players from spring leagues, but the 30-year-old Butler is getting his chance with his sixth NFL team after three successful stints with the St. Louis Battlehawks.
