Former Nebraska tight end Sam Cotton will get a chance to make a pro roster.

Cotton's agent announced that the tight end will have a tryout with the Los Angeles Chargers next week. Cotton went undrafted, but at 6-foot-5, 250-pounds, his mix of size and catching ability was intriguing to teams.

During his Nebraska career, Cotton caught 17 passes for 185 yards and three touchdowns. As a senior, Cotton caught eight passes for 87 yards and started 11 of the 13 games he appeared in.
