Two former SDSU football players joined the ranks of the NFL this past week, with Dalys Beanum and Amar Johnson signing undrafted free agent contracts following the 2025 NFL Draft.
Johnson, who is just coming off a 1,222-yard rushing season, will team up with former Jackrabbit tight end Tucker Kraft in Green Bay with the Packers. Competition will be stiff with the Packers fielding an experienced and talented running back room. Packers back Josh Jacobs finished sixth in the league in rushing yards with 1,329, and backup Emanuel Wilson finished the year off with 502. The Packers placed third in the NFC North after an 11-6 season and were eliminated in the Wild Card Round following a 22-10 loss against the would-be Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
Beanum will join a New Orleans Saints team that saw four defensive back signings this offseason. After a four-year career with the Jacks, Beanum tallied 12 interceptions, 87 solo tackles and 34 pass deflections. He also served as a punt returner this last season, returning 15 for 146 yards while also scoring a touchdown. The Saints were last in the NFC South with a 5-12 record, and had the ninth-worst record in the league.
On top of the two signings, linebacker Adam Bock received a camp invite with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The invite will provide Bock the opportunity to prove himself in the Buccaneers training camp and potentially earn a spot on their roster. Bock collected 48 solo tackles, 43 assisted tackles, two interceptions and three sacks this past season with SDSU. The Buccaneers won the NFC South with a 10-7 record and were eliminated in the postseason by the Washington Commanders.
