Former Princeton quarterback Kevin Davidson is signing with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent, according to a source.

The New England Patriots are signing former Louisiana Tech quarterback J'Mar Smith as an undrafted player, according to a source.

With the 240th overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft in the seventh round, the New Orleans Saints took Mississippi State quarterback Tommy Stevens. Is he the next Tom Brady?

Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDane Jackson Goes To Buffalo
With the 239th overall pick in the NFL Draft in the seventh round, the Buffalo Bills selected Pittsburgh cornerback Dane Jackson. Jackson is only 6-foot, 187 pounds, but he makes up for it by playing with an attitude, and he can play outside near the sideline or in the slot, so that gives him a […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoT.J. Brunson Selected By Giants
The New York Giants added South Carolina inside linebacker T.J. Brunson with the 238th overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft in the seventh round. Brunson is a physical off-ball linebacker, but he's not fast enough to play sideline-to-sideline and also doesn't thrive in coverage. Brunson will need to become more flexible and gain strength […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoChiefs Take Thakarius Keyes In Last Round
The Kansas City Chiefs selected Tulane cornerback Thakarius Keyes with the 237th overall pick in the seventh round. Keyes has the physical traits to be effective in press coverage at the line in the NFL, but his recovery speed is suspect and he could be exposed deep down the field by quicker and speedier pass-catchers. […]

With the 220th overall pick in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers selected Ohio State wide receiver K.J. Hill.

Keith Hernandez 5 years agoRavens Take A Flier On Geno Stone
The Baltimore Ravens selected Iowa safety Geno Stone with the 219th overall pick of the NFL Draft in the seventh round. Stone's size (5-foot-10, 207 pounds) and arms don't jump off the page, but he's naturally instinctive in the secondary with good recognition skills. He plays his best in two-high zone and in the box […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoGiants Take Carter Coughlin With Pick No. 218
The New York Giants selected Minnesota outside linebacker Carter Coughlin with the 218th overall pick in the seventh round. Even while impressing at the NFL combine in February, Coughlin finds himself going in the last round of the draft.

With the 217th overall pick in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers selected Tennessee wide receiver Jauan Jennings.

The Minnesota Vikings selected Michigan safety Josh Metellus with the 205th overall pick in the sixth round, their second pick of the round.

Keith Hernandez 5 years agoPatriots Pick Up Cassh Maluia
With the 204th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots drafted Wyoming inside linebacker Cassh Maluia in the sixth round. Maluia wasn't really on the draft radar this year, but the Patriots are really good at finding those under-the-radar players that don't exactly stand out on tape. He's stocky at 6-foot, […]

With the 203rd overall pick in the sixth round, the Minnesota Vikings selected Oregon State offensive tackle Blake Brandel.

Keith Hernandez 5 years agoCardinals Go With Evan Weaver At No. 202
The Arizona Cardinals selected California inside linebacker Evan Weaver with the 202nd overall pick in the sixth round.

The Los Angeles Chargers selected Notre Dame safety Alohi Gilman with the No. 186 overall pick in the sixth round of this year's draft.

The Miami Dolphins drafted LSU long snapper Blake Ferguson with the No. 185 overall pick in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Ferguson was the Tigers long snapper each of the last four seasons and was a two-time team captain. He's undersized for a long snapper at 6-foot-3, 229 pounds, but has good […]
