NFL teams have made a number of UFL signings this offseason after the conclusion of the UFL season.
In one of the latest moves, according to insider Aaron Wilson, the Atlanta Falcons have signed former San Antonio Brahmas defensive tackle Prince Emili.
The 25-year-old went undrafted out of the University of Pennsylvania in 2022 but made his way onto the practice squad of the Buffalo Bills.
Then, he joined the practice squad of the New Orleans Saints for the latter part of 2022 and the summer of 2023.

In his first opportunity with the Bills in 2022, he was able to play in two games and record three tackles, along with a pass deflection.
Emili joined the Brahmas in December of 2023 and went on to be a productive player for the team.
He recorded 23 tackles and 3.0 sacks during the UFL season.
Falcons head coach Raheem Morris has an eye for quality defenders seeing as he has made his name in the league as a defensive coach for over two decades now.
Emili will be looking to try and make it out of training camp with a roster spot.
It will be difficult with Pro-Bowler Grady Jarrett and veteran David Onyemata dominating most of the snaps.
But, if Emili can show the coaches that he has enough juice to make an impact as a reserve player, perhaps he will have a present and future with the team.
Regardless, this signing was just another reason that proves how the UFL has been able to help the NFL out with finding talent.
