Rookie Roster Shifts in NFL | Miami Dolphins News

This NFL season, undrafted rookies are on the decline—just 17% of rookies are undrafted, the lowest in a decade. Teams are leaning heavily into their draft picks, with the Miami Dolphins leading the way by packing their roster with 13 drafted rookies. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs defy the trend, boasting the most undrafted rookies in the league. Playoff contenders like the Rams, Seahawks, and Broncos are keeping it lean, carrying only four rookies each—and just one undrafted player apiece. Even Super Bowl favorites like the Rams are minimizing rookie risk. But the New England Patriots, also a conference champ, stand out with eleven rookies—showing how wildly different roster-building strategies are shaping this season.
