The 2025 NFL Draft saw players like defensive back Azareye'h Thomas land in New York with the Jets and defensive tackle Joshua Farmer sign with the New England Patriots, joining a long list of former Florida State Seminoles in the NFL.
While 2025 didn't see players like Defensive Rookie of the Year Jared Verse, runner-up Braden Fiske, and the many talented players on the 2023 ACC Championship Team get drafted, a few from that title run are inking deals as undrafted free agents.
Former FSU defensive back Fentrell Cypress II recently put pen to paper with the Washington Commanders in a contract worth $2.9 million over the course of three years. The contract includes a $10,000 signing bonus and a $165,000 guarantee.

After suffering a season-ending injury late last season, he put on a strong performance at Florida State's Pro Day in March. Cypress recorded a 4.43-second 40-yard dash, a 6.84-second three-cone drill, a 38-inch vertical jump, and a 10-foot-3 broad jump.

Building on his Pro Day performance, multiple sources have expressed high praise for the 24-year-old during offseason workouts and OTAs.
Cypress transferred from Virginia to Florida State prior to the 2023 season. Over the course of his collegiate career, he has appeared in 42 games, recording 125 tackles, 27 pass breakups, four tackles for loss, two fumble recoveries, and one interception.
