drowland Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Jason Peters - LT of the Bills. Undrafted college TE the Bills converted to LT and is now considered top 5 in the league at his position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 drowland, I'll add Jason Peters. He hasn't had the longevity yet - only 4 seasons. But he's been a starter for 3 of them, and was named All-Pro last season, so he's in. With Peters, that gives us 78 players: 41 on offense 29 defense 8 special teamers I think we'll cap the team at 80. J-bomb, good list. Since we're low on defensive players, I'm going to add 2 defensive guys from your list to bring us to 80: Defensive end Bobby Hamilton has managed to last 13 seasons in the NFL, with 162 career games, 102 starts, and 2 Super Bowl rings (with the Patriots). Undrafted out of Southern Miss, he's been with the Jets, the Raiders, New England, and now the Browns. James Harrison, linebacker with Pittsburgh, was picked up by the Steelers after being undrafted out of Kent State. He's been in the league 5 years, and made All Pro in 2007. So that's 80 players on the All-Time Undrafted NFL Team. Now, any nominees will have to bump an existing player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Bump for the UDFA class of 2009. There are diamonds in the rough to be found after the draft is over. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEavyJumbo85 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I think we have to edit Mike Nelms off of the 1st page there. Apparently he was drafted by the Bills in 1977. 7th rounder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he was drafted by the Bills in 1977. 7th rounder You're right Jumbo, thanks. I'll take him off. So we have a slot open on the 80-man team... But people, please do a minimal amount of research to make sure the nominee was NOT drafted before putting his name out there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleVA Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 WOW, Wes Welker was undrafted?! Now he's a top 10 receiver in the league, incredible. I don't see how someone who was a standout in college goes undrafted - I guess the intangibles are often ignored vs. the measurables. He's a great player and great person.

Dan T. Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 donald driver 7th round by the Packers in the 1999 draft. It took me 2 seconds to look that up. Didn't Miami draft Ogunleye? No. He began his career there. As an undrafted free agent. Google is your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Romo sits to pee for QB, hurts to admitt it Romo sits to pee was on the list earlier, but got bumped by a bunch of better quarterbacks. He does deserve honorable mention though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazhog Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Absolutely. Fixed. Nice but I would give the nod to "big cat" from the bears over Ashworth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Nice but I would give the nod to "big cat" from the bears over Ashworth... ??? James "Big Cat" Williams is listed ahead of Ashworth on the depth chart, so I'm not sure what you are saying here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Is it time to add Miles Austin and Tony Romo sits to pee to this list? if so, who gets bumped from the WR and QB slots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hieverybody Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Romo sits to pee over Delhomme definitely. I'd wait another year or two before adding Austin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RypienUmApart Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 How is Fred Jackson not on that list? Undrafted from a Division III college...even has 'D III' below his eyes during games so opposing players know who just flew by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixieFlatline Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I think the guys drafted before 1993 are the most impressive when you had 12 rounds. They changed it to 8 and then 7. I know we've added 4 more teams since then, but those early years still had a lot more picks. People like Romo sits to pee may have been drafted back them.

Dan T. Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Romo sits to pee over Delhomme definitely. I'd wait another year or two before adding Austin. That's how I'm leaning. How is Fred Jackson not on that list?Undrafted from a Division III college...even has 'D III' below his eyes during games so opposing players know who just flew by them. That's not a bad pick. But what running back do you bump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rounds went even higher back in the day. I'm sure that scouting wasn't nearly as sophisticated or comprehensive back then as it is today.
