The 2025 NFL draft concluded with two former Texas Tech football players being picked.
On Friday night, the Las Vegas Raiders took offensive lineman Caleb Rogers in the third round, and on Saturday the Cincinnati Bengals chose running back Tahj Brooks in the sixth round. Rogers went with the 98th overall pick, Brooks with the 193rd.
As soon as the draft ends, the dash begins for teams to scoop up undrafted free agents. Here's a running list of Texas Tech players who have found landing spots, according to Tech athletics.

Hey, I know you: Texas Tech football's Tahj Brooks goes back years with his new Bengals position coach
Conyers was ranked by multiple analysts among the top 200 draft prospects available, based in part on the agility he showed at the NFL combine. He caught at least 30 passes each of his last three seasons of college football, including the 2024 season when he caught 30 passes for 320 yards and five TDs. He also rushed for two touchdowns and threw one.
Kelly last season caught 89 passes for 1,023 yards and five touchdowns, the first two figures ranking ninth and 19th, respectively, in the FBS. It wasn't enough to outweigh his running 4.70 seconds in the 40-yard sprint at the NFL combine. However, wide receiver was a perceived need that Dallas didn't address in the draft, so Kelly will try to take advantage of the opportunity with the Cowboys.
