[Praxit]

That's Trigg's problem. Hopefully not getting drafted will humble him.

....yeah, last thing teams needs is another Ego to deal with.

He's likely a practice squad guy. Can he handle that?

 

[MarcusRock]

Yep
Has the takent
Only question will be maturity
Dak throws a ton of balls to TEs, he can become a star if he clicks with Dak

And how's he gonna get out there ahead of Ferg, Schoon and Spann-Ford? I mean, it's fun to dream about these guys coming in and taking over but let's be real. He would need an injury swarm to get anywhere near the field. We still have Sam Williams on the team so there's a chance!

Huge catch radius ..........

It's an UDFA. Relax

 

[StarW]

After watching Martellus Bennett waste all the natural physical abilities needed to be a HOF TE, and put together an incredibly below average career, my hopes aren't high.

The percentage of leopards who find a way to change their spots is low, but fingers crossed for this young man.

Wasn't he on the Giants superbowl team? Not saying that excuses his time with the boys, but Witten alsostopped his progress in Dallas by being a straight up warrior.

Lets see if he can win a job in training camp, then see if they can get something for Schoonmaker.

Agree with the first part but they couldn’t get a meatloaf sandwich for Schoonmaker

 

[BrassCowboy]

Could be the Schoonmaker replacement. or even Spann-Ford.
I know many like him over Schoonmaker, and has shown some potential. But I think they want to see more in the passing game.
Schoonmaker in the last year of his contract. I doubt the offer him a 2nd contract. Or can they even trade him for a late round draft pick. Maybe during TC.

well at this point it is not hard to beat out Schoonmaker, but I really like this kid. If he keeps his head on straight, we may have a starter in the mix.

If he’s so good why not drafted ?

 

[CWR]

Hopefully he can be grounded and listen to the coaches unlike Kelvin Joseph.

Im still jamming Bossman Fat.

I hate our second round gambles. Im fine just trading a 2 for a vet every year so I don't have to watch Jerry wildcat round 2.

we have lived enough life to know things happen
He is young and immature but if he keeps his head down and puts in the work then good things will happen

 

[J12B]

If he’s so good why not drafted ?

Maturity issues and poor blocking ability

 

[CWR]

Hes a troll. They hate optimism of any sort. Its not like you cut Ferguson and started measuring for a gold jacket. Gawd forbid a team with a strong track record signing UDFAs made a nice potential pick up.

Yeah, he's a baller!

He looks better than Marty B

It's what some of us are trying to figure out..........I have read Brugler's entire profile ( background and all ). Nothing here negatively jumps out ..........as to why he was undrafted.



Brugler

Weaknesses​

• Plays high in and out of breaks
• Lacks consistency as a route runner and tends to prematurely reveal intentions
• Doesn’t always play with the same urgency mid-route
• Tied for FBS-lead among tight ends in 2025 with seven drops
• Wasn’t consistently the aggressor at the point of attack in the run game
• Late to lock on and sustain, which leaves him falling off blocks (called for holding against Cincinnati and UCF)
• Battled through bruised left shoulder for much of 2025 season; missed five games as a sophomore at Ole Miss with broken right collarbone (Oct. 2022); missed six games as a freshman at USC after spraining right knee (Oct. 2021)
• Served one-game suspension for “disciplinary matter” at both Ole Miss (Nov. 2022) and at Baylor (Sept. 2024); involved in sideline incident with former Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades in 2025 — Rhoades is alleged to have taken exception to a gold, long-sleeved undershirt worn by Trigg during a home game against Arizona State (Rhoades’ role in the incident was investigated by the university)
• Maturity has been questioned by NFL teams (NFL scout: “I know how much he likes football, but he needs hard coaching … and you hope he develops better consistency, on and off the field.”)

 

[Johannes44]

No PR at all.....we are just trying to understand how/why a kid with such strong talent goes undrafted. Anything meaningful you wanna add?

Nothing more than you are being presented with usda choice chuck roast and told that it’s A5 wagyu.

 

[Mitch]

Could we finally have a worthy successor to the great Rico Gathers…?
