Reiger Top UDFA Prospect for Dolphins

Wisconsin pass rusher Mason Reiger is considered the favorite undrafted free agent to make the Miami Dolphins' initial 53-man roster, according to Bleacher Report and Dolphins Wire.

The Miami Dolphins, who made 13 selections in the NFL draft, are undergoing a roster overhaul that creates an opportunity for undrafted players like Reiger. Miami needs edge-defender help after trading Jaelan Phillips and cutting Bradley Chubb, despite signing Josh Uche, David Ojabo, and drafting Trey Moore in the fourth round.

Reiger, who transferred from Louisville to Wisconsin, has drawn comparisons to former Dolphins player Andrew Van Ginkel. Both share similar size (6-foot-4), athletic profiles, and high-motor playing styles. Reiger ranked third among linebackers in athleticism at the 2026 NFL combine with a Relative Athletic Score of 9.53, and he has a proven track record with 13 career sacks. palladian.co.za
