An updated look at which UFL players have signed with NFL teams, along with NFL probability tiers.
The United Football League season is over, so congratulations are in order for the champion DC Defenders.
At the moment, the Green Bay Packers have an open roster spot, as they’ve only filled out 89 of their 90 roster spots — beyond their international exemption of kicker Alex Hale. Obviously, the most likely path between now and the start of training camp in late July is that the Packers sign (at least) a player from the spring league to fill out their roster
The question now becomes who that player will be.
Nicholas Thorn of Pro Football Newsroom, which does a great job of covering the UFL, has recently posted his NFL probability projections for players coming off the 2025 season. According to his numbers from last year, the players he deemed as “Tier 1” NFL prospects signed with NFL teams at a rate of 92 percent (100 tryout rate), while his “Tier 2” players were signed at a 45 percent clip (58 tryout rate). From there, the Tier 3, 4 and 5 players were brought into the NFL at 28 percent, 14 percent and 3 percent rates, respectively.
This is all to say, Thorn does a pretty good job of figuring out which players have at least a 50-50 chance of getting a look in the NFL.
So with that in mind, below are the players Thorn has given Tier 1 or Tier 2 grades to, by position, following the 2025 UFL campaign.
