Making it to the NFL is a childhood dream for many kids in this country. How they end up getting there usually isn’t the most important part, but obviously the most ideal route is turning a productive college career into an eventual selection in the NFL Draft.
However, that’s not the case for quite a few players who wind up making it.
Many players who make up today’s NFL rosters were formally undrafted. Heck, the Chargers are one of the most notable teams who have a long history of turning undrafted players in success stories in this league.
