The Los Angeles Rams have long treated the undrafted free agent market as an extension of the NFL Draft itself, and once again they are casting a wide net. Shortly after wrapping up their 2026 draft class, the Rams announced an 18 player undrafted free agent class that reflects both developmental upside and positional depth. While none of these players heard their names called over draft weekend, several bring intriguing production and could push for roster spots heading into training camp.
Rams 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Class
Bryce Henderson, OT (Vanderbilt)
Henderson arrives with SEC experience and versatility along the offensive line. In his final season at Vanderbilt, he started 12 games at tackle and allowed just three sacks across more than 700 snaps. Known for his length and pass protection ability, he’ll compete for a depth role behind the Rams’ starting tackles.
