WR Je’Quan Burton, Florida Atlantic
Burton appeared in 34 games over the last three seasons and met with the Denver Broncos before the draft. He averaged 2.5 receptions per game and scored nine touchdowns throughout his three-year college career. He also returned 10 or more kicks in two of his three seasons with the Owls.
S Jordan Colbert, Rhode Island
Colbert transferred to Rhode Island after graduating from Columbia as an All-Ivy League honorable mention at free safety his senior season. As a Rhode Island graduate student, he appeared in 21 games over two seasons. He started ten games in 2023 with 96 total tackles, 4.5 tackles for a loss, two interceptions, and two forced fumbles.
Colbert worked out for the New England Patriots at their local pro day in early April.
CB Storm Duck, Louisville
Duck was PFF’s No. 12 rated cornerback entering the 2022 season with the North Carolina Tar Heels. PFF labeled Duck one of the biggest projections after he played 530 snaps as a true freshman.
“He played just 436 snaps the past two seasons combined but still shined when on the field,” Anthony Treash, PFF college football analyst, wrote. “If fully healthy, Duck has star potential.”
Duck appeared in 12 games with four starts last season, ending the year with 32 tackles and seven pass breakups. Miami has had success with undrafted free-agent cornerbacks. Nik Needham played 61 games since 2019. Kader Kohou, a 2022 undrafted free agent, has started 29 games over the last two seasons.
