Which TCU football players signed NFL undrafted free agent contracts?
TCU football had three players selected in the NFL draft this past weekend, but those aren’t the only Horned Frogs who will have a chance at making an NFL roster.
As of Monday morning, eight more Horned Frogs signed undrafted free agent deals or received rookie mini-camp invitations to go along with the three draft picks: safety Bud Clark (Seattle Seahawks), linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr (Buffalo Bills) and linebacker Namdi Obiazor (New England Patriots).
Here’s where the rest of the Horned Frogs landed after draft weekend:
UDFA from TCU
Tight end DJ Rogers (Dallas Cowboys): Rogers had the best season of his career as a senior with 319 yards and two touchdowns in his lone season as a starter. An advanced route runner, Rogers showed growth as a run blocker in 2025.
Edge rusher Devean Deal (Seahawks): Deal will join Clark in Seattle as he looks to find a spot on the roster. Deal was voted second-team All-Big 12 after finishing his last season with 53 tackles, 3.5 sacks and four passes defended.
Tight end Chase Curtis (New York Jets): A veteran around the program, Curtis lands in New York after producing 13 catches for 167 yards and two touchdowns last season. He was also a good run blocker and locker room presence.
Cornerback Channing Canada (Patriots): Canada will join Obiazor in Foxborough after he started most of last season at cornerback. Canada had 30 tackles, an interception and one pass defended in 2025.
Wide receiver Joseph Manjack (Denver Broncos): Manjack was extremely productive in his lone season in Fort Worth with 44 receptions, 579 yards and three touchdowns.
Running back Trent Battle (Atlanta Falcons): Another strong locker room presence, Battle rushed for 349 yards and six touchdowns while averaging 5.5 yards per carry last season. He was also a factor on special teams.
Running back Kevorian Barnes (New York Giants): Despite dealing with a nagging injury, Barnes rushed for 443 yards and three touchdowns in his lone season at TCU.
Offensive lineman Coltin Deery (New York Giants): The Giants will bring in another Horned Frog with Deery’s signing being announced Monday morning. Deery was TCU’s top interior offensive lineman and has started games at center and left guard.
Rookie mini-camp
Quarterback Ken Seals (Kansas City Chiefs): Seals started just one game in two seasons in Fort Worth, but it’ll be a game TCU fans remember for a long time. Seals threw for 258 yards and a touchdown in the Horned Frogs’ overtime win over USC in the Alamo Bowl. Now Seals will have a chance to learn from Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid.
Offensive lineman Carson Bruno (Cleveland Browns): Bruno started all 13 games for TCU this past season with nine starts at right guard before moving to right tackle in the final four contests.
Safety Austin Jordan (New York Giants: Jordan played nickel safety for the Horned Frogs, posting 40 tackles and a sack.
