UDFA DT with athletic profile has chance to make roster pending training camp improvement.
Jahvaree Ritzie is a highly athletic 6'4", 290-pound defensive tackle with a 9.49 RAS and 33.25" arm length who started four years at North Carolina with average PFF grades except good tackling grades. He was a UDFA signed and released by the Patriots in 2025 and signed and released by the Steelers in May. His highlight reel shows pass rush ability (he had a strong game against Max Brosmer and the Gophers in 2024), but he struggles to anchor and can get washed out in the run game. The source notes he has a similar physical profile to Jalen Redmond and could be looked at to play primarily 3-tech. He didn't grade as well as Redmond in college but has upside. The source projects he has a chance to make the roster if he shows improvement in training camp.
