This offseason, five NFL rookies with Utah ties have found themselves in promising positions as they embark on their professional football careers. Jaxson Dart, selected 25th overall by the New York Giants, enters a favorable scenario, with veteran quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in place to guide him while he develops. Dart's experience at Ole Miss under Lane Kiffin prepares him to adapt to the NFL effectively.

Jalen Royals, a fourth-round pick by the Kansas City Chiefs, is anticipated to contribute early in a talented receiving corps. His ability to stretch the field makes him a valuable asset in their offensive scheme. Caleb Lohner, drafted by the Denver Broncos, adds intrigue as he transitions from basketball to football under head coach Sean Payton, who successfully developed similar players in the past.

Undrafted free agent Junior Tafuna signed with the Houston Texans, where he has a chance to make an impact among a young defensive line. Jakob Robinson, also signed as an undrafted free agent, finds himself with opportunities to impress during training camps. The right environment could be the catalyst for their success in the NFL.

Jakob Robinson, the cornerback from BYU, is making waves as he prepares for the NFL Draft after a standout performance at the Big 12 Pro Days. He showcased impressive speed with an unofficial 4.39-second 40-yard dash, all while weighing in at 181 pounds—13 pounds heavier than last season. This weight gain was crucial for scouts questioning his size, and his versatility was highlighted as he performed well in various field drills.

Considered a late-round prospect, Robinson's training under former BYU defensive back Rob Daniel has paid off. He is now ranked as the 54th best cornerback on Mel Kiper's Big Board. Despite being projected as an undrafted free agent, his athleticism and performance at the Pro Day may have turned heads of scouts from multiple NFL teams, including the Ravens, Broncos, and Jaguars.
