Six 2025 undrafted rookies make the 53-man roster
DE Adin Huntington got a special surprise on Saturday after a two-sack performance against the Rams – he made the 53-man roster.
As an undrafted free agent, he had an uphill battle to be one of the players to carve out a roster spot. Thanks to a preseason that included 2.5 sacks and 10 tackles, Huntington made it. On Tuesday, five other undrafted free agents joined Huntington on the 53-man roster.
Wide receivers Gage Larvadain and Isaiah Bond, LB Easton Mascarenas-Arnold, CB Dom Jones and S Donovan McMillon all made the initial Browns' roster. Except for Bond, who signed with Cleveland in August, all undrafted rookies were signed by the Browns following the 2025 NFL Draft.
Over the course of the preseason, Larvadain recorded nine receptions for 94 yards and proved to be a factor in the run game, gaining 20 yards on two carries and scoring a rushing touchdown in the first preseason game against the Panthers. Mascarenas-Arnold totaled 17 tackles, nine solo and eight assisted, in three preseason games. He led the Browns in tackles against the Eagles and Rams.
Jones tied with Mascarenas-Arnold for the lead in tackles against the Rams and recorded a tackle in every game, including three against the Panthers with a pass defensed. McMillon had 3-plus tackles in every preseason game, recording five against the Eagles and adding a pass defensed. He finished with 11 tackles and two passes defensed.
"It's been a really impressive rookie class, in terms of their preparedness, their professionalism. Each one of those guys kind of represents that they've from the jump, been about their business, have been trustworthy," Stefanski said. "We've put them in some tough spots, and they've responded. So, it's an impressive group in that regard."
