Dan T. Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 This is a roster of NFL players who were NOT selected in the NFL draft. It shows that once the draft is over, a team can still find diamonds in the rough. And as you can see, this is a pretty formidable lineup, with Pro Bowlers and even Hall-of-Famers represented. Here's the running lineup, based on your nominations: OFFENSE QB - Warren Moon. Jim Hart. Dave Krieg. Kurt Warner. Jeff Garcia. Tomy Romo sits to pee. RB - Priest Holmes. Dominic Rhodes. Tony Richardson. Joe Perry. RB - Marion Motley. Willie Parker. Mike Sellers. Mack Strong. Arian Foster. WR - Rod Smith. Wayne Chrebet. Wes Welker. Drew Bennett. WR - Drew Pearson. David Patten. Terrence Wilkins. James Thrash. TE - Antonio Gates. Marcus Pollard. T - Joe Jacoby. Lou Groza. Derrick Deese. Jason Peters. Matt Lepsis. T - Tony Jones. James "Big Cat" Williams. Tom Ashworth. G - Nate Newton. Joe Andruzzi. G - Larry Little. Brian Waters. C - Jim Langer. Kent Hull. Jeff Bostic. Bart Oates. Jeff Saturday. Robbie Tobeck. Hank Fraley. Honorable mentions: Miles Austin, Fred Jackson, Jake Delhomme. Arian Foster. DEFENSE DE - Rich Jackson. Eric Hicks. Cullen Jenkins. DE - Adewale Ogunleye. James Hall. Bobby Hamilton. DT - John Randle. Tony Siragusa. Hollis Thomas. DT - Coy Bacon. Otis Sistrunk. Pat Williams. Sam Rayburn. LB - London Fletcher. Neil Olkewicz. LB - Jessie Tuggle. Shelton Quarles. Antonio Pierce. LB - Sam Mills. Bart Scott. James Harrison. CB - Dick "Night Train" Lane. Everson Walls. CB - Willie Brown. Emmitt Thomas. S - Willie Wood. Deron Cherry. Cliff Harris. Eugene Robinson. S - Emlen Tunnell. Donnie Shell. Glenn Edwards. Honorable Mention: Nick Harper, CB, Tramon Williams, CB. SPECIAL TEAMS K - Adam Viniateri. David Akers. Lou "The Toe" Groza. P - Brian Moorman. Chris Hanson. Jeff Feagles. KR - Herb Mul-Key. Josh Cribbs. Original post: This might be a tough one. . . Let's pull together an All-Time NFL Undrafted Team . I'll start with the two I can think of off-hand: At OT, Joe Jacoby, Washington Redskins. Undrafted out of Louisville, he signed a rookie contract with the Redskins in 1981. In training camp that year, Coach Joe Gibbs once mistook him for a defensive lineman, and Jacoby was too scared to correct the coach. Soon, though, Coach Gibbs and the rest of the football world got to know Jake very well as a cornerstone of the Hogs and one of the best lineman of his era. At TE, Antonio Gates, San Diego Chargers. Gates was a high school basketball and football star, but ended up only playing basketball in college. He transferred from MSU to Eastern Michigan, played some JUCO B-ball then starred for two years at Kent State as a power forward. Undrafted by the NFL, he tried out for the Chargers, who signed him, and he has quickly become arguably the top receiving tight end in the NFL.

Califan007 The Constipated Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Maybe Antonio Pierce, or perhaps what's-his-ass from the Jets, the short receiver (Wayne Chebret?)...wasn't he undrafted as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep good pulls. WR Wayne Chrebet, Jets. He was undrafted out of Hostra. LB Antonio Pierce, Redskins, was undrafted out of Arizona Don't know about all-time for these two, but we'll see if anyone comes up with better WRs or LBs. . .

[[ghost]] Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Willie ParkerWalter Thomas Chris Leak Those last two haven't even seen TC yet, not to mention they both have a long hard road ahead of them if they plan on making that list. One guy split QB time on a Championship team with a Freshman, the other has character issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 At DT, how about Otis Sistrunk, who played 7 years with the Raiders, from 72-78. One of the few NFL guys who didn't play college ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouvan59 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 WR - Charlie Joiner Sort of a technicality because he wasn't drafted in the NFL but was a 4th rounder in the AFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
