The NFL draft is officially over, and many players didn't get to hear their names called. Fortunately, the players who didn't get drafted could sign as undrafted free agents.
The Dallas Cowboys signed a handful of undrafted free agents, and even though it's unlikely that any of them will make the active roster, there is a chance one or two could play meaningful games this fall.
Nick Baumgardner from The Athletic thinks the Cowboys' undrafted free agent signing tight end Rivaldo Fairweather is a "player to watch" this season.
"A raw tight end with interesting traits, Fairweather (6-3, 242 with 34 1/2-inch arms and an 83 5/8-inch wingspan) was one of the longest skill players in the draft," Baumgardner wrote. "He plays with natural leverage as a blocker and has the length to be a factor in the run game and pass protection, should his technique improve."
Fairweather spent five seasons in college, playing at Florida International for three before transferring to Auburn for two.

In 51 career games, Fairweather recorded 1,604 yards for 13 touchdowns.
Dallas needs help at tight end, and if Fairweather impresses during training camp, there is a legitimate chance he will make the opening-week roster.
