Former Florida State quarterback Tommy Castellanos drew interest from a couple of NFL teams before the 2026 NFL Draft. Teams were interested in him switching to the wide receiver position, but he went undrafted and hasn’t signed as an undrafted free agent.
It wasn’t surprising, considering Castellanos didn’t play the position in college, and players with his size and speed are not difficult to find. However, that hasn’t stopped Castellanos from continuing to put in the work in hopes of pursuing his dream of playing professionally.
He posted a video on his social media account that doesn’t look terrible, considering he has only been working at the position for a few months:

Castellanos doens't look terrible in the short clip. If he can find a way to keep playing and make some money, good for him.
Castellanos has some fast-twitch ability, showing more quickness than speed when fully healthy. The most impressive thing in this video was his natural pass-catching ability. He snatches the ball at its high point without jumping and quickly tucks it to get upfield. There is no catching the ball against the body or wasted motion.
Now, performing without worrying about getting tackled or having a defender impede your release off the line of scrimmage is one thing. However, playing professionally is more than making it in the NFL. There are other opportunities out there for former college players to make money playing, and that’s likely the plan for Castellanos.
There are leagues like the United Football League (UFL) where former Florida State running back Lawrance Toafili signed earlier this year. There’s the Canadian Football League (CFL), Indoor Football League (IFL), and Arena Football.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Castellanos sign with one of these leagues in the future. He has some name recognition, playing at Florida State and leading them to a huge upset win over Alabama last year. He might contribute as a slot receiver or on special teams.
