The UFL season has concluded, as the expansion Louisville Kings defeated the DC Defenders in the championship game last weekend. With the league’s season now over, a new crop of players has become available for NFL teams to sign. The Green Bay Packers have added plenty of spring league players over the years, with the most notable being punter Daniel Whelan. Lukas Havrisik, the team’s backup kicker, also came to Green Bay directly from the UFL.
So who is drawing NFL interest? Let’s take a look at which players have received tryouts (or contracts) from NFL teams thus far. We’ll continue to update this list as more information is reported.

Signed Players
The most recognizable name on this list is probably Hakeem Butler, who was a fourth-round pick in 2019 and was named the UFL’s Offensive Player of the Year in both 2024 and 2026. Generally, NFL teams tend to pick up younger players from spring leagues, but the 30-year-old Butler is getting his chance with his sixth NFL team after three successful stints with the St. Louis Battlehawks.
Players Receiving Tryouts/Visits
RB Kavon Latulas — St. Louis Battlehawks
RB Dae Dae Hunter — Dallas Renegades
WR Antwane Wells — Columbus Aviators
WR Jalen Moreno-Cropper — Houston Gamblers
WR Lawrence Keys — Houston Gamblers
OL Chris Glasier — Columbus Aviators
ED Ron Stone Jr. — Columbus Aviators
LB Eugene Asante — Houston Gamblers
S Josh Minkins — Orlando Storm
The only former Green Bay Packer drawing interest so far is edge defender Keshawn Banks, who spent his entire rookie season of 2023 on the Packers’ practice squad during the regular season. Surprisingly, Banks was promoted from the practice squad to the gameday roster in Green Bay’s playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers, when he mostly played on special teams.

Another name you might recognize from this list is receiver Denzel Mims, who was a second-round pick in the 2020 draft by the New York Jets. Mims’ last stop in the NFL was in the summer of 2024, when he spent a couple of weeks with the Jacksonville Jaguars after being waived by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Hunter Dekkers is a player you’re probably going to hear about more and more, if only because of his loose connection to Brendan Sorsby, who applied for the supplemental draft on Monday after it was discovered that he had previously bet on his own team in college. Dekkers bet on Iowa State when he was the backup there, a similar situation to what led to Sorsby’s ineligibility, and he was banned from the NCAA.
Because of the NCAA ban, Dekkers transferred down to the JuCo level, using a year of eligibility at Iowa Western before going pro. He’s now getting a look from the New Orleans Saints, who originally signed him as a college free agent back in 2025. This spring, he spent time with the — wait for it — Houston Gamblers.
