In this story:

Six former Missouri players were selected in the 2026 NFL draft, and several now will earn their chance in the league by signing undrafted free agents.

Signing a contract will give players the chance to prove their worthy of a roster spot, with training camp practices and preseason games being key opportunities.

Missouri players who are likely to earn a free agent contract include safety Jalen Catalon, linebacker Khalil Jacobs, center Connor Tollison and defensive back Daylan Carnell.

The undrafted signing period follows a draft where the Tigers were well-represented over the last two days of selections. Edge rusher Zion Young (Baltimore Ravens) and linebacker Josiah Trotter (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) were both selected in Round 2, while defensive tackle Chris McClellan (Green Bay Packers) and offensive tackle Keagen Trost (Los Angeles Rams) were selected in Round 3. Across the final day, wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. (Miami Dolphins) and defensive back Toriano Pride Jr. (Buffalo Bills) were selected.

Follow along with this tracker to keep up with every former Missouri player who earns a chance in the NFL.
