The first NFL team kicked off their training camp today with the Houston Texans in the limelight, with several more teams following over the coming days. The majority of teams are back in on July 23 and July 24.
Ole Miss will see several drafted and undrafted players in the past draft class looking to make NFL rosters during training camp. Here is a rundown of where those past Rebel players will fight for spots and when the training camps begin.
Baltimore Ravens - Saturday, July 20
Dayton Wade, WR
Dayton Wade got onto the Baltimore Ravens roster after being picked up as a UDFA. The athletic wide receiver has received serious buzz among the Ravens reporters and fan base. He has shown all through his career not to bet against himself, so don't be surprised to see him make the roster.
Cincinnati Bengals - Tuesday, July 23
Daijahn Anthony, Safety
One of three Ole Miss players drafted in the 2024 NFL Draft, Daijahn Anthony, was selected with the No. 244 pick by the Cincinnati Bengals. Anthony is a hard-hitting safety who signed a four-year contract with the Bengals and will likely fight to make the practice squad.
Cedric Johnson Jr., Edge
Cedric Johnson Jr. was the second Ole Miss player selected in the 2024 NFL Draft by Cincinnati, selected in the sixth round. As a pass rusher with a high ceiling, Johnson Jr. can break onto the roster, making the practice squad.
Detroit Lions - Tuesday, July 23
Issac Ukwu, DE
The Detroit Lions picked up defensive end Issac Ukwu as a UDFA. Ukwu is a powerful pass rusher who will find it challenging to crack the roster. However, content creators at SB Nation's Pride of Detroit see a way he can make it.
Jacksonville Jaguars - Tuesday, July 23
Deantre Prince, CB
Deantre Prince was the third and earliest Ole Miss player to be selected in the 2024 NFL Draft. Selected in the fifth round by Jacksonville, Prince has turned heads during off-season practice. If there were one former Rebel who had the best chance of making the 53-man roster, it would be Deantre Prince.
Los Angeles Chargers - Tuesday, July 23
Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste, LB
The Los Angeles Chargers picked up two Ole Miss players as UDFAs. Linebacker Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste has an outside chance of grabbing a roster spot, with the Chargers linebacker group a very open battle behind the starters.
Zamari Walton, CB
The second Ole Miss player the Los Angeles Chargers picked up as a UDFA was cornerback Zamari Walton. It will be an uphill battle for Walton, but he has shown before the drive and hard work to succeed when doubted.
