Undrafted TE with Record Bonus, 12 Career TDs, and Elite Playmaking Intensity
DJ Thomas-Jones, the 6'2", 256-lb tight end from South Alabama, stands out not just for his 22 receptions, 191 yards, and 3 touchdowns in the 2024 season (finishing with 12 career TDs), but for his unmatched intensity and fullback-like physicality that turns him into a rare dual-threat playmaker. Despite being undrafted in 2025 and waived by the Steelers in August, he secured a record $30,000 signing bonus—the highest ever for a non-QB undrafted free agent by Pittsburgh—proving his elite value. His personality is defined by relentless drive and a 'by any name, becoming a playmaker' mindset, with no significant injury history reported. For teams seeking a high-intensity, versatile TE who can block like a fullback and score like a receiver, Thomas-Jones is a perfect fit, offering more than stats: he brings a unique, game-changing intensity that elevates every unit he joins.
