Gophers tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford signs with Dallas Cowboys
Former Gophers tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford was not selected in the final rounds of the NFL draft on Saturday, but the St. Cloud native signed as a free agent with the Dallas Cowboys.
“I’ll never forget this feeling,” Spann-Ford posted on X after news broke about his destination. “Right back to work.”
Gophers receiver Corey Crooms also signed with the Cowboys, while defensive tackle Kyler Baugh signed with the New Orleans Saints.
Spann-Ford, who attended the Senior Bowl and the scouting combine, and Baugh were considered possible late-round picks. Safety Tyler Nubin ended up being the U’s only draft pick this year, going to the New York Giants in the second round with the 47th overall pick on Friday night.
Receiver Chris Autman-Bell has been invited to the Giants and Jets rookie minicamps, according to KPRC-TV in Houston.
