From Undrafted to Unforgettable in the N.F.L.

If you are unhappy with the underwhelming picks your team made in the N.F.L. draft last week, there’s still hope. In the days since the draft, all 32 teams have been scrambling to sign more players, ones who were not quite good enough to have their names called on television.

Most teams have signed a dozen or more, some from powerhouses like Alabama, and others from teams not associated with top-level football powers, like Duquesne, Florida Tech and the University of the Cumberlands.

Most of these players will never be heard from again; others will have brief careers on taxi squads and special teams.
