The Cowboys had nine undrafted free agents on their roster starting at least one game in 2017. La'el Collins (16 starts), Jeff Heath (15), David Irving (8), Cole Beasley (4), Keith Smith (3), Benson Mayowa (2), Byron Bell (2), Richard Ash (2), and Rod Smith (1) all went undrafted and took a sometimes circuitous route to the NFL. Add special teamers Dan Bailey, Chris Jones, and L.P. Ladouceur, along with promising recent UDFAs like Cooper Rush, Lewis Neal, and Blake Jarwin, and you begin to understand the importance undrafted free agents (UDFAs) have for the Cowboys, who have been quite successful in bringing in UDFAs over the years.
