One Commanders UDFA to watch ahead of rookie minicamp

The Washington Commanders will begin their three-day rookie minicamp beginning this week on Friday, May 8. In addition to its six-player 2026 NFL Draft class, the Commanders will have several other players, including undrafted free agents, unsigned players on a tryout basis, and perhaps some of Washington's existing younger players participating in the rookie minicamp. Washington has yet to announce its undrafted free-agent class, but we have a list of players who have agreed to terms with the team.

The Commanders will likely announce the signings this week, as the players descend on Ashburn for minicamp. Here are some of the players Washington has reportedly agreed to terms with: Northwestern CB Fred Davis II Iowa K Drew Stevens LSU WR Chris Hilton Jr. SMU DT Jeffrey M'ba UNLV WR Jaden Bradley UTSA RB Robert Henry Jr.

Michigan State S Malik Spencer Washington TE Quentin Moore Utah G Tanoa Togiai So, which undrafted rookie free agent has the best chance of making Washington's 53-man roster? Nick Baumgardner of The Athletic recently named one UDFA to watch on all 32 teams. His prediction for Washington: Hilton.

Hilton (6-0, 188) never had a consistent on-field run in college, as he battled several injuries (meniscus in both knees; ankle; shoulder), but he’s a legit speed presence (4. 41 with a 1. 57 split at the combine).
