Bills quietly sign another difference-maker that the rest of the NFL forgot to draft at a premium position in another slam dunk from Brandon Beane
The Buffalo Bills added a handful of undrafted free agents to the team immediately following the aftermath of the 2026 NFL Draft. One name in particular stands out, and the rest of the league could regret not taking him during the draft. Buffalo could’ve landed another silent killer.
The Buffalo Bills concluded the 2026 NFL Draft with a monster day three from general manager Brandon Beane and the front office. They bolstered several areas of team need, all while adding another weapon for Josh Allen by drafting wide receiver Skyler Bell.
The fun doesn’t end there, as the team also had the task of filling out the rest of the roster with some undrafted free agents. You can see the entire list of undrafted free agent signings and rookie minicamp invites with our latest tracker.
One name in particular stands out, and it’s a player that the rest of the league forgot to draft. Buffalo may have added another playmaker for Allen and the offense with the move. It’s been reported that the team has brought in Kentucky wide receiver Ja’Mori Maclin as one of their undrafted free agent signings.
Buffalo Bills sign Kentucky WR Ja’Mori Maclin after 2026 NFL Draft madness ended
Maclin is a stud at the position, and he finished his collegiate career with 53 games played with 100 receptions for 1,891 yards and 17 touchdowns while averaging 18.9 yards per reception. He played for Missouri, North Texas, and Kentucky.
In his final season with Kentucky, he finished with 10 games played and 13 receptions for 189 yards while averaging 14,.5 yards per reception.
Maclin’s best season in college came at North Texas, where he played in 12 games and had 57 receptions for 1,004 yards and 11 touchdowns while averaging 17.6 yards per reception.
It’ll be an uphill battle for him to make the roster, but that’s the beautiful part of this time of the year. We can project how players will land, what players will make the cut, and the surprise moves the team made that could ultimately wind up being the difference.
Tyrell Shavers has a message for the undrafted free agents coming out of college
The Bills have an undrafted free agent wide receiver who has come on and made a name for himself with Tyrell Shavers. After the 2026 NFL Draft concluded, Shavers provided some valuable insight for those whose names weren’t called on draft night.
It’s up to Maclin to get to work and prove himself to the organization.
And if there’s one thing Bills Mafia has learned over the years, it’s this: don’t sleep on the undrafted guys in Buffalo.
Maclin now steps into a situation where opportunity is there for the taking, especially in a wide receiver room that’s still sorting itself out behind the top options. He’s flashed big-play ability before, and if he can tap back into that North Texas version of himself, things could get interesting in a hurry.
This is where careers are made. The draft may be over, but for players like Maclin, the real grind is just beginning. Buffalo might’ve quietly added another name worth watching when the pads come on.
