Undrafted free agents make up critical elements of any roster. Last year’s Super Bowl featured contributions from scrimmage and special teams from players like Noah Gray, Jake Brendel, Jack Cochrane, Cole Christiansen, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, George Odum and Jordan Mason. Odum is largely regarded as one of the best pure special teamers in the league.
Los Angeles Chargers fans well know the value of undrafted free agents. Austin Ekeler had been one of the best running backs in the league and they’ve seen contributions from Michael Davis, A.J. Finley and Stone Smartt.
They also acquired Jalen Guyton after the Dallas Cowboys signed him in undrafted free agency, first signing him to their practice squad and then promoting him.
