Did Max Duggan make an NFL roster? Status of 2023 TCU draft picks
Following TCU’s national title runner-up season, eight Horned Frogs were selected in the 2023 NFL Draft.
How many of them can expect to be on their team’s final rosters on Tuesday when NFL teams are forced to make their final cuts?
Quentin Johnston
Johnston had eight receptions for 62 yards and a touchdown in three preseason games. Johnston, a first-round pick by the Los Angeles Chargers, was always a lock to make the team. Johnston should factor in heavily to the Chargers offense this season.
Max Duggan
In two preseason games, Duggan threw for 34 yards with a touchdown and added 71 yards as a rusher. Duggan is firmly behind Justin Herbert and Easton Stick on the Chargers’ depth chart so the ex-TCU star could be cut.
Duggan was officially waived by the Chargers on Monday. He could sign with another team, likely a practice squad deal.
Derius Davis
Davis had five catches for 45 yards and an 81-yard punt return for a touchdown. Davis’ value on special teams was crucial in him making the Chargers 53-man roster.
Steve Avila
The second-round pick is a lock to make the Los Angeles Rams final roster with him expected to start at left guard to begin the season for the Rams. Avila officially made the roster on Tuesday.
Tre’vius Hodges-Tomlinson
The ex-TCU defensive back also made the roster after impressing the Chargers throughout training camp.
Dee Winters
Winters made the 49ers’ 53-man roster joining one of the best defensive in the entire NFL after a successful training camp.
Dylan Horton
A fourth-round selection by the Houston Texans, Horton made the final roster for a Texans team looking to improve after only winning three games last season.
Kendre Miller
Miller was drafted in the third round by the New Orleans Saints and had 22 carries for 42 yards with a touchdown on the ground and 47 receiving yards in three preseason games.
Miller was selected to the Saints’ 53-man final roster. Miller could get playing time early with Alvin Kamara missing the first three games of the regular season due to suspension.
