NFL Teams Weigh Receiver Role for FSU QB Tommy Castellanos Ahead of Draft

Versatility gives him a potential late-round shot or an undrafted opportunity.

Overview

  • Interest in Tommy Castellanos expanded, as NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday that teams are evaluating him as a quarterback and as a slot receiver.
  • Castellanos trained at both positions and capped his pro day with wide receiver drills, signaling openness to a role change to boost his roster chances.
  • He posted 2,760 passing yards for Florida State in 2025 and showcased dynamic rushing ability with 1,113 yards and 13 touchdowns at Boston College in 2023, plus 557 rushing yards and nine scores last season.
  • Bleacher Report’s board did not list him in its top 275 prospects, and outlets project him for late Day 3 or undrafted status, with teams eyeing gadget plays and double-pass looks from a former QB in the slot.
  • He entered the draft after the NCAA denied him an extra year of eligibility, and some reports say he did not receive a Combine invite; recent coverage cites successful QB-to-WR switches like Julian Edelman, Antwaan Randle El and Terrelle Pryor as precedent ahead of the April 23–25 draft.
