After seven rounds, the 2025 NFL Draft is over. But there’s still some top talent available in the undrafted free agent market, and ESPN has revealed the top remaining players who did not hear their names called in Green Bay.

Entering Saturday, all eyes were on Shedeur Sanders. The Colorado quarterback fell out of the first two days and didn’t go in Round 4, either. At long last, the Cleveland Browns – after making a trade – selected Sanders with the No. 144 overall pick in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

With the draft in the books, some big names will still look to sign contracts with teams as undrafted free agents. Here are the top UDFAs available, according to ESPN.

Top 10 undrafted free agents after the 2025 NFL Draft

McLaughlin spent just one year at Ohio State after transferring in from Alabama. He then became a key piece of a Buckeyes team that rattled off a run to the national championship and saw 14 players selected in the 2025 NFL Draft – tying their own program record.

As for what he’s capable of doing at the next level, NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein said McLaughlin could have a role in the NFL. His consistency, which was key to his success prior to his season-ending injury, is part of what made him stand out during the pre-draft process.

“Highly intelligent center-only prospect coming off of an Achilles tear,” Zierlein said. “McLaughlin has his itinerary fully mapped pre-snap but makes quick alterations when needed. He’s gritty with good core strength. He has the range and radar to pull effectively and operates with timing on work-up blocks.

“He lacks ideal knock-back pop at the point and his block sustain could take a small downturn against NFL power. He’s technically sound in protection but a lack of length and range causes it to get leaky when rushers find his edge. His injury status could hurt his draft slotting, but he has the makeup and consistency to make it in the league.”
