K.J. Osborn

Wide Receiver · Miami

Veteran slot receiver who landed in Tennessee on a one-year deal after a quiet 2025.

K.J. Osborn made his name in Minnesota as a dependable third option behind Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen. After a journeyman 2025 spent largely on practice squads, the Titans brought him in this spring to add depth and experience to a young receiver room.

★ Career-high seven receiving touchdowns in 2021

★ Three-plus seasons as a rotational NFL receiver

Path to the league

Osborn started his college career at Buffalo before transferring to Miami for his final season. The Vikings selected him in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He broke through in 2021, when he posted career highs across the board as Minnesota's clear No. 3 receiver.

Career highlights

Osborn's most productive stretch came with the Vikings from 2021 through 2023, where he was a steady chain-mover and red-zone target. He later spent time with New England and bounced between rosters as a depth piece. His best statistical season came in 2021 with 50 catches for 655 yards and seven touchdowns, per Pro-Football-Reference.

2025 season

Per multiple reports, Osborn did not see regular-season action in 2025, signing with the Atlanta Falcons' practice squad in November after a quiet camp elsewhere. He signed a one-year contract with the Titans on April 1, 2026, joining a receiver group that includes Calvin Ridley and Wan'Dale Robinson, according to UPI.
