Numerous Former NC State Football Players Have Been Picked up by NFL Teams After Cuts

This week, all 32 NFL teams had to cut their rosters down to 53 players. Numerous former NC State players were waived this week, but today a handful of them have been scooped up by other teams.

It’s super exciting to see Place Kicker Brayden Narveson claimed by the Packers. Green Bay released Place Kickers Anders Carlson and Greg Joseph, to make space for Narveson on their 53-man roster.

Narveson was 6 of 7 in the Preseason for the Titans, hitting a 59-yarder.

Narveson transferred to NC State from Western Kentucky prior to the 2023 season, went undrafted this Spring, signed an undrafted free agent deal with Tennessee, showed what he can do in the preseason, was cut by the Titans, and ultimately found a spot on a 53-man roster as a starting Place Kicker heading into Week 1.

Truly an incredible story.

Defensive Tackle TY McGill has been added to the 49ers Practice Squad (who just waived him). McGill played 2 games for San Francisco last year, and also was on their Practice Squad as well.

Wide Receiver Thayer Thomas has been added to the Vikings Practice Squad. Thomas was on Minnesota’s Practice Squad last year.

Linebacker Vi Jones has been added to the Bucs Practice Squad. Last year Jones was on the Practice Squad for both the Seahawks and the Bucs.

After drafting Center Dylan McMahon in the 6th Round this Spring, the Eagles waived him this week. They are still interested in investing in McMahon, signing him to their Practice Squad.
