Former Notre Dame receiver Beaux Collins went undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft and signed with the New York Giants. Collins was one of three undrafted receivers the Giants signed following April's draft. But, with an impressive training camp, the rookie receiver is rising in the Giants' receiver room.

With Giants star receiver Malik Nabors sidelined with an injury, Collins has had the opportunity to slot in with the first team and has taken advantage.

"You are getting first-team reps, that means something, at this point in the summer,” ESPN's Jordan Raanan said. "Definitely a name I am keeping an eye on."

Although Collins didn't get drafted, he is a player with a ton of college experience. The rookie receiver started his career at Clemson, and played three season with the Tigers before spending his senior year with the Fighting Irish.

Collins played in 48 games at the collegiate level, collecting 132 receptions for 1,780 yards and 14 touchdowns. Although he never put up eye-popping numbers in any one season in college, he was always consistent. Collins was an intermediate target for his quarterback throughout his college career averaging over 13 yards per catch.

The former Notre Dame receiver missed the Giants' first preseason game against the Buffalo Bills but will be a player to watch against the New York Jets.

After taking reps with the Giants first team and quarterback Jackson Dart throughout the week, Collins will have a chance to further cement himself as receiver worth keeping in New York with a strong performance against the Jets.
