Earlier today, the Browns officially confirmed the signing of 12 undrafted free agents to fill out their roster.

There is also a lot of competition taking place at rookie minicamp. A total of 53 players are taking part, including 25 players who are trying out. Let’s break the players down by category: 2026 NFL Draft Picks (10 players) QB Taylen Green WR Denzel Boston WR KC Concepcion TE Joe Royer TE Carsen Ryan OT Spencer Fano OT Austin Barber C Parker Brailsford LB Justin Jefferson S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren Undrafted Free Agents (12 players) RB Davon Booth – 5-8, 192 lbs – Mississippi State RB TJ Harden -6-0, 218 lbs – SMU WR Kole Wilson – 5-7, 177 lbs – Baylor OT Izavion Miller – 6-5, 306 lbs – Auburn DE Logan Fano – 6-4, 252 lbs – Utah DT Bernard Gooden – 6-0, 280 lbs – Louisiana State DE Tyreak Sapp – 6-2, 273 lbs – Florida DE Khordae Sydnor – 6-4, 264 lbs – Vanderbilt CB DeCarlos Nicholson – 6-4, 200 lbs – Southern California CB Nate Evans – 5-11, 191 lbs – Delaware S Zion Washington – 6-1, 208 lbs – Boise State P Wes Pahl – 6-4, 207 lbs – Oklahoma State Tryouts (25 players) QB Bryson Barnes – 6-1, 213 lbs – Utah State WR Aaron Anderson – 5-8, 198 lbs – Louisiana State WR Daejon Reynolds – 6-1, 202 lbs – UNLV WR Jaelon Reagor – 5-10, 203 lbs – Texas Christian TE Jyrin Johnson – 6-2, 241 lbs – Bowling Green OG Cole Hutson 6-4, 311 lbs – Texas OG Korion Sharpe – 6-2, 307 lbs – North Carolina A&T OG Ryan Mosesso – 6-4, 300 lbs – Massachusetts C Carson Bruno – 6-3, 302 lbs – Texas Christian OT Micah Pettus – 6-6, 335 lbs – Florida State DT Carter Hewitt – 6-4, 282 lbs – Illinois DT Malachi Cooper – 6-4, 289 lbs – San Diego DE Bradley Weaver – 6-3, 267 lbs – Rutgets DT Braxton Fely – 6-1, 291 lbs – Boise State LB Reid Carrico – 6-2, 226 lbs – West Virginia LB Tanlela Latu – 6-1, 233 lbs – San Jose State LB James Conway – 6-2, 236 lbs – Fordham LB Trent Hendrick – 6-0, 231 lbs – James Madison S Phillip Dunnam – 6-0, 181 lbs – Central Florida S Jaden Taylor – 5-9, 190 lbs – West Alabama S Trevor Woods – 6-1, 206 lbs – Jacksonville State CB Aaron Harris – 5-9, 192 lbs – North Carolina A&T CB Malcolm Bell – 5-11, 175 lbs – Michigan State CB Joshuah Moten – 5-11, 187 lbs – Southern Mississippi LS John Ferimann – 6-2, 245 lbs – Ohio State It’s not unheard of to see 2 or 3 tryout players be impressive enough during the rookie minicamp that they end up getting signed.

However, the majority of players are there to simply fill out the numbers game for a camp. For example, the Browns need someone to handle long snapping duties for the weekend, so they brought John Ferimann from Ohio State in to handle those duties for the weekend. Throughout the season, the Browns will often bring in players for tryouts.

However, this is the first time I can recall seeing a veteran player participate in rookie minicamp on a tryout basis. I am referring to WR Jaelon Reagor , who was formerly a first-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles. Non-Rookies on Roster (6 players) RB Ahmani Marshall WR Luke Floriea TE Sal Cannella TE Caden Prieskorn OT Jack Conley P Nik Constantinou Every year, there are some players who aren’t rookies, but are fringe first-year players (typically on reserve/future contracts), who also take part in rookie minicamp.
