NOTES*
Taylor stands at 6’1″, 213 pounds and has a 40-yard dash time of 4.49 seconds. Over four years at Memphis, he made 163 catches for more than 2,300 yards and seven touchdowns. In 2024, he recorded 66 catches for 950 yards and topped 1,000 yards in 2023.
Thomas-Jones reportedly received a $30,000 signing bonus, the largest for a non-QB UDFA in Pittsburgh history. Last season, he caught 22 passes for 191 yards and three touchdowns with the Jaguars. He measured 6’1″ and 250 pounds at his Pro Day, running a 4.63 in the 40-yard dash.
Castro, who is versatile and impactful, logged 57 tackles (including three for loss), along with two forced fumbles and one interception last season. He tested smaller than expected at the NFL Combine, weighing in at 5’11” and 203 pounds, but his on-field performance earned him a fourth-round grade in our scouting report.
Williams, a native of Philadelphia, transferred to Indiana for the 2024 season and had notable performances, including 39 receptions for 448 yards and five touchdowns. Prior to Indiana, he played four years at Wake Forest, accumulating 107 receptions for 1,385 yards and five touchdowns.
