Some college football players get overlooked coming out of college. Here are the top 10 current undrafted NFL players.
Every year hundreds of College Football players declare for the NFL Draft, and by the end, usually just over 250 players get drafted to NFL teams. That’s when the cameras turn off, the lights get less bright, and it’s all said and done, right? Wrong. A handful of players continue their dream. Training more, working harder, trying to manage their way onto an NFL Roster through Undrafted Free Agency.
In 2016 we’ve seen the likes of Trevone Boykin in Seattle, filling in for an injured Russell Wilson. Tanner McEvoy out of Wisconsin caught a long touchdown pass the next week when Wilson made his way back to the starting lineup.
Jalen Richard and Josh Ferguson are both getting regular snaps for the Raiders and Colts respectively.
Jalin Marshall is in the Wide Receiver rotation for the Jets.
Lastly, Brian Poole has worked his way into the starting lineup for the Atlanta Falcons at CB, while De’Vante Harris sees time at CB for the New Orleans Saints. All of these players went undrafted in 2016, but beat the odds and are making a difference for their teams.
While these players are merely making a difference, some current NFL players went undrafted, but are stars in the league, some Pro Bowlers, and some integral pieces to Super Bowl Champion teams.
