After going undrafted in the NFL supplemental draft, wide receiver Malachi Wideman is scheduling workouts with NFL teams for training camps. He also has offers from CFL and XFL teams as backup options. Wideman had a productive 2021 season but was limited in his junior year. He previously played for the University of Tennessee and was a highly regarded basketball player in high school.
No players were selected in the NFL's supplemental draft, which featured two eligible players: Malachi Wideman and Milton Wright. This was the first supplemental draft in three years, and the last time a player was selected was in 2019. Any team that made a pick in this draft would have had to give up a corresponding pick in the 2024 draft. Wideman, a Tennessee transfer, had 12 touchdowns in 2021 but caught only three passes last season, while Wright missed the 2022 season due to academic ineligibility. Both players can now sign with any team as undrafted free agents.
No players were selected in the 2023 supplemental draft, leaving former Jackson State receiver Malachi Wideman and former Purdue receiver Milton Wright as free agents eligible to sign with any team. Wideman had a limited performance in 2021, while Wright had a productive final season. Teams that would have used a supplemental pick on either player would have given up a corresponding selection in the 2024 draft.
