About this episode

Who are the best undrafted NFL players of 2025? George Wrighster breaks down 10 overlooked stars from the 2025 NFL Draft UDFA class who could become game-changers.

In this episode of the Unafraid Show, George Wrighster reveals the top 10 undrafted players from the 2025 NFL Draft, spotlighting under-the-radar talent who could make a major impact despite not hearing their name called on draft weekend. From record-setting wide receivers to elite defenders and dominant offensive linemen, these UDFAs are ready to prove doubters wrong.

👀 Featured UDFAs in this episode include:

Andrew Armstrong (Dolphins WR) – Led the SEC in receptions and yards. NFL scouts doubted his speed, but his 6'4" frame and sure hands say otherwise.

Nick Nash (Falcons WR) – Converted QB who led FBS in catches and yards. Underrated due to competition level, but the tape doesn’t lie.

Cobee Bryant (Falcons DB) – A 3-time First-Team All-Big 12 selection with a knack for turnovers. NFL teams may regret passing on this shutdown corner.

Seth McLaughlin (Bengals OL) – Rimington Trophy winner with elite college experience. Injury hurt his stock, but his talent is undeniable.

Howard Cross III (Bengals DT) – Undersized but disruptive. Familiarity with DC Al Golden gives him a leg up in Cincinnati.

Elijhah Badger (Chiefs WR) – Speed, production, and big-play ability. The Chiefs might have struck gold again.

Luke Grimm (Chargers WR) – Slippery route-runner with a nose for big plays. Could be a surprise fit in Jim Harbaugh’s system.

Ben Yurosek (Vikings TE) – Injuries dropped his stock, but if healthy, he’s a versatile weapon with great hands.

Xavier Restrepo (Titans WR) – Miami's all-time leading receiver and first-down machine. Chemistry with Cam Ward could revive his reputation.

🧠 Discussion Topics:

Why these players went undrafted despite elite production

NFL team fits and depth chart opportunities

Pro comps and predictions for their rookie seasons

Are NFL scouts overthinking small-school or injury-prone talent?
