Matt Landers 

Landers is a bit of a wildcard option. The former Arkansas Razorback most recently signed to the San Antonio Brahmas in the UFL, alongside the 6 feet 6 inches tall former Cowboy, T.J Vasher. After going undrafted in 2023, Landers spent 2023 on the Seahawks’ and Panthers’ practice squads.

He’s 6 foot 4 and clocked a 4.37 second 40-yard time at his combine. That time made him the third-fastest receiver in his class! He would have been behind only Xavier Worthy, Brian Thomas Jr., and Adonai Mitchell this year. 

Thus far, Landers’ NFL appearances have been limited to preseason games for the Seahawks. But he’s made some plays in his limited opportunities. In college, he averaged 19.6 yards per reception over four years, and in his senior year in Arkansas, eight of his 47 receptions ended in touchdowns.

It wouldn’t be a surprise to see him back in the NFL come preseason.
