The Los Angeles Rams have long treated the undrafted free agent market as an extension of the NFL Draft itself, and once again they are casting a wide net. Shortly after wrapping up their 2026 draft class, the Rams announced an 18 player undrafted free agent class that reflects both developmental upside and positional depth. While none of these players heard their names called over draft weekend, several bring intriguing production and could push for roster spots heading into training camp.
Rams 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Class
Bryce Henderson, OT (Vanderbilt)
Henderson arrives with SEC experience and versatility along the offensive line. In his final season at Vanderbilt, he started 12 games at tackle and allowed just three sacks across more than 700 snaps. Known for his length and pass protection ability, he’ll compete for a depth role behind the Rams’ starting tackles.
Dan Villari, TE (Syracuse)
Villari is an athletic tight end with a unique background, having previously played quarterback. In 2025, he recorded 28 receptions for 312 yards and four touchdowns. His mobility and gadget-play potential could make him a developmental chess piece for the future.
Wesley Bailey, OLB (Louisville)
Bailey brings pass-rushing juice after posting 6.5 sacks and 11 tackles for loss in his final season. He showed steady improvement at Louisville and could be a candidate for the Rams’ rotational edge group.
Rohan Jones, TE (Arkansas)
Jones is more of a traditional, in-line tight end. He totaled 19 catches for 210 yards and two touchdowns in 2025. His blocking ability stands out and could help him stick on a practice squad.
Nikhai Hill-Green, LB (Alabama)
After transferring to Alabama, Hill-Green had a productive season with 68 tackles, six tackles for loss, and two interceptions. He’s a smart, instinctive linebacker who could compete for special teams snaps early.
Matthew Caldwell, QB (Texas)
Caldwell is a developmental quarterback who threw for 2,145 yards, 15 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in limited action. He’ll likely compete for a third or fourth QB spot while learning behind a veteran room.
Jaxson Moi, DL (Tennessee)
Moi provides interior defensive line depth after recording 27 tackles and 3.5 sacks. His strength at the point of attack fits well with the Rams’ defensive front philosophy.
Payton Zdroik, DT (Air Force)
Zdroik was a force in the Mountain West, tallying 42 tackles and five sacks in 2025. His motor and discipline make him an intriguing fit, particularly in run defense packages.
Nick Andersen, DB (Wake Forest)
Andersen is a versatile defensive back who logged 55 tackles and two interceptions last season. His ability to play multiple positions in the secondary gives him a legitimate shot to carve out a role.
Al’zillion Hamilton, CB (Fresno State)
Hamilton posted solid coverage numbers with 11 pass breakups and three interceptions. He has good ball skills and could push for a depth cornerback spot.
Darryl Peterson, OLB (Wisconsin)
Peterson is another edge defender who produced 5.5 sacks and nine tackles for loss. He’s known for his physicality and ability to set the edge against the run.
Drey Norwood, CB (Missouri)
Norwood adds competition to the secondary after recording 48 tackles and two interceptions. His experience in the SEC should help him transition quickly.
Nyzier Fourqurean, CB (Wisconsin)
Fourqurean brings size and physicality, finishing with 52 tackles and eight pass deflections. He’s particularly effective in press coverage situations.
Jalen Logan-Redding, DL (Minnesota)
Logan-Redding recorded 36 tackles and four sacks in his final collegiate season. His versatility to line up at multiple spots on the defensive line could work in his favor.
Austin Blaske, OL (North Carolina)
Blaske started 11 games and showed consistency in pass protection. He allowed just two sacks all season and brings positional flexibility along the interior.
Chad Lindberg, C (North Carolina)
Lindberg anchors the interior offensive line group after starting a full season at center. He was credited with over 800 snaps and strong run-blocking grades.
Dean Connors, RB (Houston)
Connors is a dual-threat back who rushed for 842 yards and six touchdowns while adding 38 receptions for 410 yards. His receiving ability could make him a sleeper candidate in camp.
Eddie Walls, OLB (Houston)
Walls rounds out the class with 61 tackles, seven tackles for loss, and four sacks. He’s an active defender who could contribute on special teams early.
The Rams have been known to find key contributors and even starters via the undrafted free agent process. The latest names include: Jaylen McCullough (safety), Alaric Jackson (offensive tackle), Omar Speights (linebacker), Shaun Dolac (linebacker), and Josh Wallace (cornerback).
