UFL players surpass 30 NFL contracts as training camp is in full swing for NFL teams

After a record breaking first month of the UFL offseason, several players have begun working out for NFL teams as training camp begins, during the last week of July. Last year the UFL saw over 60 players earn NFL contracts, with 75 earning contracts in 2024. UFL players became eligible to sign with NFL teams once the 2026 championship game was complete.

So far 71 UFL players have earned 96 workouts since the completion of the regular season.

The UFL has seen 31 players signed to NFL rosters so far.

WR Cam Camper has finally earned an NFL opportunity after four workouts. Camper is signing with the New York Jets, who worked him out in the middle of June.
