The Washington Huskies can successfully say that they sent 11 players to the NFL in 2026. Now the rest is up to those players, and whether they can make the final rosters or not. Seven players were drafted, two were signed to UDFA deals, and two more got invites to rookie minicamps. It was basically a clean sweep of all draft-eligible and likely drafted players by the Huskies.
Omari Evans and Quentin Moore both sign NFL UDFA deals
Wide receiver Omari Evans was signed to a UDFA deal with the Kansas City Chiefs. He was one of 19 other UDFAs signed by the Chiefs and one of two wide receivers. The good news for Evans is that the Chiefs have a tendency to keep a couple of UDFAs on the roster every season. Evans will have to prove it, but there's a pathway.
The other UDFA signing was tight end Quentin Moore, who signed with the Washington Commanders. And his UDFA deal signals the Commanders believe he can make the roster. He has one of the most lucrative UDFA deals of the offseason.

For Moore, that's a really big deal for a UDFA, and the guaranteed money is extremely high. This certainly means he had plenty of suitors after the draft, and it almost guarantees that the Commanders will work as hard as Moore works to keep him on the roster.
Grady Gross and Kai Horton were invited to NFL rookie minicamps
The final two Huskies that will get shots to join an NFL roster are kicker Grady Gross and quarterback Kai Horton. While Gross is unsurprising, as the NFL is always keeping an eye on kickers and making sure they know which ones are worth investing in, it's Horton who's a bit surprising.
While Horton has plenty of talent, he was a backup for the majority of his college career, appearing in about 17 total games. Yet, he clearly showed enough in his Pro Day to get an invite.
Gross is invited to the Kansas City Chiefs rookie minicamp, while Horton is invited to the Seattle Seahawks.
The other NFL Huskies were all drafted, here's the list of seven and the order they were drafted:
Denzel Boston - WR - Cleveland Browns - Round 2, pick 7.
Tacario Davis - DB - Cincinnati Bengals - Round 3, pick 8.
Jonah Coleman - RB - Denver Broncos - Round 4, pick 8.
