While hundreds of players were drafted into the NFL over the past few days, there are still plenty of undrafted free agents searching for their start at the professional level. That includes a large crop of players from Florida State after the program produced just two draft picks.

Shortly after the draft, former FSU offensive tackle Jeremiah Byers found his home.

According to his Instagram, Byers has signed with the Arizona Cardinals. He'll be joining former Seminoles such as running back Trey Benson, safety Jammie Robinson, and outside linebacker Josh Sweat on the Cardinals.

In two seasons with the Seminoles, Byers appeared in 23 games and made 22 starts at right tackle. He was FSU's Offensive Newcomer of the Year in 2023 and was honored with the Bobby Bowden Leadership Award in 2024. Byers battled through injuries this past season.

Byers was a starter on Florida State's ACC Championship team in 2023. He helped the Seminoles field one of the top offenses in the country behind Heisman candidate and star quarterback, Jordan Travis.

The 6-foot-4, 331-pound offensive tackle began his college career at UTEP. He appeared in 33 games, with 30 starts, at right tackle over four seasons with the Miners.
