The Athletic picks the most likely UDFA to make each roster...and several interesting names come up

The most interesting is Kedon Slovis, though it seems mostly to be based on his Freshman season

As a freshman at USC in 2019, Slovis (6-2, 223) looked like a potential first-rounder — 3,502 yards and 30 touchdowns with a 71.9 completion percentage. Then, in the Holiday Bowl that year, he suffered an injury to the flexor tendon in his right elbow that derailed his college career. His coach was fired, he transferred to Pittsburgh, then to BYU. But Slovis still has something left. If he shows it in camp, he could carve out a nice backup career.

A few other UDFA from local universities made the list as well, with

  • Isaiah Wooden (WR, Southern Utah) for Atlanta
  • Keaton Bills (OG, Utah) for Buffalo
  • Dallin Holker (TE, BYU -> Colo St) for New Orleans

As a side note, all of those players are now in the "likely to be cut" category instead of the "almost certain to be cut" category (which is pretty much where a UDFA starts unless there's good reports about them or a clear need/path at their position to make the roster)
