Parker (6-5, 310) was a sixth-round pick (189th overall) out of Duke University. He played in 40 games with 33 starts for the Blue Devils, including 26 consecutive starts to close out his career. He earned second-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors in each of his final two seasons, and in 2025 was named a third-team All-American by the Associated Press.

Endries (6-5, 245) was taken in the seventh round (221st overall) out of the University of Texas. He played his first two collegiate seasons (2023-24) at the University of California, then transferred to Texas for the ’25 campaign. In 39 career games (all starts), he caught 124 passes for 1376 yards and seven TDs.

Robinson (6-0, 295) also was a seventh-round pick (226th) out of the U.S. Naval Academy.
