Few teams have done a better job than the Baltimore Ravens when it comes to developing undrafted free agents into NFL starters. Previously under the direction of Ozzie Newsome, Baltimore’s final roster has consisted of at least one UDFA in each of the last 15 seasons, currently the longest active streak in the league.
With former undrafted free agents such as Michael Pierce, Patrick Onwuasor, and Gus Edwards all playing a key role in Baltimore’s success last year, it’s quite easy to see how valuable these undrafted players can turn out to be.
Now with Eric DeCosta at the helm, only time will tell if the first year GM has the same knack for finding undrafted gems as his predecessor did.
