Despite not hearing their name called during this past weekend’s NFL Draft, six Ole Miss players quickly found a new professional home.
The Ole Miss football program saw six alumni sign as undrafted free agents between Saturday and Sunday.
Defensive standout Benito Jones and running back Scottie Phillips were the first two Rebels to receive UFA deals. Jones signed with the Miami Dolphins, while Phillips signed with the Houston Texans minutes after the draft concluded on Saturday.
“Another interesting part to my story UFA. Proud to be a part of @HoustonTexans,” Phillips tweeted soon after the draft.
