NFL teams have to cut their rosters to 80 before the final preseason game and then to 53 players to start the season.
Morgan, listed at 5-foot-11, 235 pounds, is one of the great stories in college football. He arrived at Arkansas at a walk-on in 2016 and was eventually put on scholarship in 2018. Morgan appeared in every game from 2017-2019 and was voted a team captain in 2020.
He was listed on several All-American teams in 2020 and was a first-team All-SEC performer. Morgan won the Burlsworth Trophy in 2021, awarded to the best player in the country that started their career as a walk-on.
Morgan signed a contract with Jacksonville as undrafted free agent after the 2022 NFL Draft.
