On September 16, 2026, the NFL reminded clubs that players who attempted to return to college football are ineligible for NFL signings. The memo came after the Green Bay Packers held a workout for Zxavian Harris, a defensive lineman who left the league to join LSU. Harris, alongside Dae’Quan Wright, is barred from visiting or working out with NFL teams. Despite being considered a top undrafted free agent, Harris has faced character concerns and has been under scrutiny since leaving the NFL.
