RALEIGH — Somewhat unexpectedly, NC State saw just two of its players selected during the 2026 NFL Draft. That left a plethora of players from the 2025 roster with their aspirations of playing in the league limited to signing as undrafted free agents (UDFA) in the days that followed the ceremonies of the last three days. Many new Pack Pros signed as soon as the draft ended. With Justin Joly (Broncos) and Brandon Cleveland (Raiders) as the lone representatives of the program's 2026 draft class, other standouts from the latest NC State team quickly found homes in the NFL. Eight different players from the 2025 group coached by Dave Doeren signed with NFL organizations in the hours after the draft, all earning a shot to continue their careers. Who were they?
