The Kansas City Chiefs will host dozens of rookies at the team facility this weekend for a three-day "minicamp," or series of practices, ahead of the full-team Organized Team Activities (OTAs) that will begin later this month.

Those in attendance will include the Chiefs' seven draftees, but also a handful of undrafted rookies looking to earn their shot in the NFL. Some of those players are already under contract after signing with Kansas City immediately following the draft, while numerous others will participate purely on a tryout basis. If the latter individuals impress over the course of this weekend's practices, they could very well earn themselves a contract, too.

Linebacker Cooper McDonald, for example, went from attending last year's rookie camp on a tryout basis to appearing in all 17 games last year.

In the meantime, here's a look at every member of the Chiefs' undrafted free agent class who is currently under contract with the team:

Duke EDGE Vincent "VJ" Anthony Jr.

The 6-foot-6, 259-pound Anthony appeared in 49 games (with 41 starts) over the last four seasons at Duke, logging 103 tackles, 29 tackles-for-loss, 15 sacks, eight passes defensed and a forced fumble.

He finished his collegiate career by playing his best football, too, as he led the Blue Devils in sacks and tackles-for-loss in 2025. He posted an impressive performance at the NFL Scouting Combine as well, recording the sixth-best broad jump (10 feet, 3 inches) among all edge-rushers at the event.

Here's more on Anthony from The Athletic's Dane Brugler:

"Anthony has a long, slender frame, with the rush juice and quick hands to work through the edges of blockers…He plays long with a rush arsenal that continues to ascend."

Miami LB Wesley Bissainthe

The 6-foot-2, 225-pound Bissainthe appeared in 54 games (with 41 starts) over the last four seasons, including 15 starts last year as Miami marched to the National Championship Game.

A middle linebacker for the Hurricanes, Bissainthe utilized a fully-charged motor and aggressive demeanor to the tune of 204 career tackles (and 14.5 tackles-for-loss).

Here's more from The Athletic's Dane Brugler:

"He offers solid height/weight/speed and play recognition. Special teams will be a realistic entry point to his pro career."

Texas DT Cole Brevard

A big man at 6-foot-3 and 343 pounds, Brevard began his collegiate career at Penn State (for one year) and later Purdue (where he spent three seasons) before transferring to Texas ahead of the 2025 campaign.

An explosive player, Brevard's 1.70 10-yard split as Texas' pro day would have ranked fourth among all defensive tackles at the NFL Scouting Combine, and of the players ahead of him, the heaviest in that group weighs in at 308 pounds. In other words, Brevard's combination of size and explosiveness is unique.

Cincinnati WR Jeff Caldwell

An intriguing prospect who stands at 6-foot-5 and 216 pounds, Caldwell put on an athletic show at the NFL Scouting Combine, logging the top 10-yard split (1.48), the second-best vertical jump (42 inches), the second-best broad jump (11 feet, 2 inches) and the fourth-best 40-yard dash (4.31) among all wide receivers at the event.

That performance helped Caldwell to post a ridiculous perfect "Relative Athletic Score" of 10.00.

It was a coming out party for Caldwell, who spent four seasons at Lindenwood before wrapping up his collegiate career at Cincinnati in 2025, where he caught 32 passes for 478 yards and six touchdowns.

Here's more from The Athletic's Dane Brugler:

"A "Freaks List" alum and combine darling, Caldwell builds up his speed quickly and strides out to create vertical separation. He is light-footed with natural flexibility at the top of routes and the catch point…He offers rare length and speed, meaning he potentially could grow into a downfield threat. He will require a patient coaching staff that's willing to invest in his raw talent."

The folks at Sports Illustrated also listed Caldwell as one of the top undrafted free agent signings this year, citing his athletic profile.

California WR Jacob De Jesus

A versatile playmaker, De Jesus' 108 receptions last season ranked second in the FBS while his 1,645 all-purpose yards ranked eighth. The 5-foot-6, 174-pound pass-catcher began his career at Modesto Junior College (2021-22) before transferring to UNLV ahead of the 2023 campaign, where he became the only player in the FBS to rank in the top-15 in both kick return (13th) and punt return (3rd) average.

De Jesus then chose to wrap up his career at Cal, earning All-ACC honors as an all-purpose and specialist selection after ranking seventh in the FBS with 622 total return yards.

Toledo EDGE Anthony Dunn

The 6-foot-5, 246-pound Dunn appeared in 25 games over the last two years for the Rockets, recording 57 total tackles, 10 tackles-for-loss, six sacks, a pass defensed and a forced fumble.

Listed as a linebacker but primarily an edge-rusher in college, Dunn was Pro Football Focus' No. 25-ranked edge defender among those with at least 300 defensive snaps last year. He was particularly effective against the run in 2025, tallying PFF's No. 19 run defense "grade" among that group of players.

Dunn spent two seasons at Florida A&M before transferring to Toledo, earning the No. 8 PFF overall "grade" among all FCS edge-rushers in 2023 (min. 450 defensive snaps).

Washington WR Omari Evans

The 6-foot-tall, 190-pound Evans is bringing his blazing speed to Kansas City after he ran a 4.28 40-yard dash at Washington's pro day earlier this year. That number, for reference, would have been the fastest of any player at the NFL Scouting Combine. Evans also recorded a 41-inch vertical jump at the event, which would have ranked fifth at the Combine among receivers.

Evans spent three seasons at Penn State, where he caught 30 passes for 564 yards (averaging 18.8 yards-per-reception) and seven touchdowns in 38 games, before wrapping up his collegiate career at Washington in 2025. He tallied 17 catches for 254 yards and a score in 11 games for the Huskies.

Wyoming TE John Michael Gyllenborg

A native of nearby Leawood, Gyllenborg attended Rockhurst High School before landing at the University of Wyoming, where he went on to catch 80 passes for 1,023 yards and seven touchdowns in 43 games (with 19 starts).

Gyllenborg is an alum of Bruce Feldman's annual "Freaks List" due to his physical exploits, which he showed off with the third-best broad jump (10 feet, 8 inches) of any tight end at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Here's more from Feldman:

"He has the kind of athleticism at 6-5, 250 pounds that will intrigue NFL scouts. He's hit 21.6 mph and his flying 10-yard time of 0.93 seconds is impressive, as are his 37-inch vertical and 10-8 broad jump. He squatted 500 pounds, benched 350 (up 25 pounds from last year) and cleaned 335."

Iowa EDGE Ethan Hurkett

A two-year starter (and five-year contributor) for the Hawkeyes, the 6-foot-3, 244-pound Hurkett appeared in 55 games (with 26 starts) during his collegiate career, racking up 30.5 tackles-for-loss and 15.5 sacks in that time.

Hurkett made the most of his tenure as a starter, too, logging at least six sacks, 10 tackles-for-loss and 20 pressures in each of the last two years.

Colorado DT Amari McNeill

The 6-foot-2, 287-pound McNeill appeared in 32 games for Colorado over the last three seasons, tallying 77 tackles, 15 tackles-for-loss, seven sacks and three forced fumbles in that time.

Prior to joining the Buffaloes, McNeill spent two seasons at Tennessee.

Iowa S Xavier Nwankpa

The No. 1 recruit in the state of Iowa during the 2022 recruiting cycle, Nwankpa remained close to home and signed with the Hawkeyes, where he went on to play in 52 games (with 36 starts) over four seasons. He recorded 171 tackles, seven passes defensed, three interceptions, three tackles-for-loss, two forced fumbles and a sack in that time.

The 6-foot-2, 208-pound Nwankpa possesses an impressive blend of size, length and speed, as exemplified by his 4.48 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Additionally,, Nwankpa's experience on special teams – which included 466 snaps at Iowa – could play a role in his pursuit of a 53-man roster spot in August.

Louisville C Pete Nygra

An experienced player who logged at least 750 snaps at center in each of the last four seasons between Northern Illinois (2021-23) and Louisville (2024-25), Nygra allowed just two sacks in that time.

Nygra checks in at 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds.

Oklahoma RB Jaydn Ott

Ott is reunited with his former Running Back Coach in DeMarco Murray, who took over that role in Kansas City back in February after previously coaching at Oklahoma.

The 5-foot-11, 198-pound Ott will now have an expanded opportunity to learn from Murray after spending just one season with the Sooners in which he battled injuries throughout the campaign. Prior to his time in Norman, however, Ott rushed for 2,587 yards and 24 touchdowns in three seasons at the University of California, earning All-America honors in 2022 and 2023.

He's also an alum of Bruce Feldman's annual "Freaks List," which featured the following analysis:

"The 5-11, 208-pounder squatted 485 pounds, bench pressed 370 and power cleaned 315. His max velocity was 21.6 mph and his max acceleration registered at 12.1 mph — his ability in one second to see how fast he can sprint from a stop. The strength staff measured his peak propulsion power at 7,792 watts, and his propulsion force was more than three times (3.01) his body weight."

Ott has special teams value as a return man, too, as he averaged nearly 22 yards-per-return (including a 100-yard touchdown in 2023) while handling kickoff duties.

Michigan DT Damon Payne

Payne recorded 348 defensive snaps during his lone season with the Wolverines, appearing in 13 games. Prior to transferring to Michigan, the 6-foot-3, 308-pound Payne played in 31 games with Alabama from 2022-24.

His 12 defensive stops last season ranked fourth among Michigan interior defensive linemen, according to Pro Football Focus.

Louisiana-Monroe CB D'Arco Perkins-McAllister

A four-star recruit out of high school who began his career at TCU, Perkins-McAllister went on to spend two seasons with the Horned Frogs before transferring to New Mexico for the 2023 campaign, followed by a season at UT-Chattanooga in 2024.

He then wrapped up his time in college at Louisiana-Monroe, where he allowed a completion percentage of 56% on 43 targets in 11 games (10 starts).

A long corner, Perkins-McAllister stands at 6-foot-tall and 200 pounds. He was primarily a wide cornerback during his time in college, but he also logged experience in the slot last season.

San Diego State CB Bryce Phillips

A two-year starter for the Aztecs, Phillips was on the field for at least 700 defensive snaps (and 350 coverage snaps) in each of the last two seasons. He recorded seven pass-breakups and two interceptions in that time.

Primarily a wide cornerback at San Diego State, the 5-foot-11, 202-pound Phillips began his career at Tennessee State, where he played for two seasons from 2022-23.

Nebraska S DeShon Singleton

An alum of nearby Hutchinson Community College who went on to spend the last four seasons at Nebraska, the 6-foot-3, 205-pound Singleton appeared in 42 games (with 30 starts) during his time with the Cornhuskers, tallying 163 tackles, 11 passes defensed, 7.5 tackles-for-loss and three interceptions.

He ended his career in Lincoln on a high note, too, by leading Nebraska in passes defensed (6) and interceptions (2).

The Athletic's Dane Brugler projected Singleton to hear his name called sometime in the fifth or sixth round, but despite not getting drafted, his journey will now continue in Kansas City.

Texas A&M RB EJ Smith

The son of Pro Football Hall of Famer and the NFL all-time leading rusher Emmitt Smith, the 6-foot-tall, 208-pound EJ spent each of the last two seasons at Texas A&M, where he rushed for 412 yards and four touchdowns on 98 carries in 24 games.

Prior to joining the Aggies, Smith rushed for 557 yards and five touchdowns across 109 carries in 24 games at Stanford.

LSU OG Josh Thompson

Thompson started 12 games at right guard for the Tigers last season, allowing just seven total pressures (and zero sacks) across 786 total snaps.

Prior to transferring to LSU, Thompson was a two-year starter at Northwestern, where he began his career as the Wildcats' starting right tackle. Thompson recorded 731 snaps at that spot in 2023 before moving to guard for the 2024 campaign.

Thompson checks in at 6-foot-4 and 304 pounds.

Houston CB Zelmar Vedder

The 6-foot-tall, 192-pound Vedder began his colligate career at Modesto Junior College in 2021 before transferring to Sacramento State ahead of the 2022 campaign, where he went on to play two seasons. He saw plenty of action during his second season with the Hornets specifically, tallying six pass-breakups and an interception across 605 defensive snaps.

Vedder then transferred to Houston for his final season at the collegiate level, where he tallied six pass-breakups on 205 coverage snaps.
