Cardinals Select Texas Tech Receiver Reggie Virgil in the Fifth Round

Saturday, April 25, 10:22 AM

The Arizona Cardinals have selected Texas Tech wide receiver Reggie Virgil with the 143rd overall pick in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. A transfer from Miami-Ohio, Virgil excelled during his first and only season at Texas Tech, catching 57 passes for 705 yards and six touchdowns. He also coverted his two rushing attempts into two rushing touchdowns. With good hands and route-running skills, Virgil has a chance to produce in a depth role as early as his rookie season. He'll presumably spend this summer competing for the No. 4 receiver role behind Michael Wilson, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Kendrick Bourne.

Seahawks Select Emmanuel Henderson Jr. With 199th Overall Pick

Saturday, April 25, 12:53 PM

The Seattle Seahawks have selected Kansas wide receiver prospect Emmanuel Henderson Jr. with the 199th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Henderson opened his collegiate career at Alabama, catching just five passes over three seasons. He transferred to the Jayhawks' program ahead of the 2025 season and immediately broke out for 45 catches, 766 yards, and five touchdowns. He's a quick player with the ability to stretch the field as a depth receiver. On the offensive side of the ball, he's more of a developmental piece on the depth chart behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp, Jake Bobo, and Tory Horton. His quickest path to playing time is likely on special teams, where he could share return duties with Shaheed.
