Defensive back Parnell Motley and wide receivers Lee Morris and Nick Basquine were hopeful of having their names called in this year’s NFL Draft, but that did not happen. The door is not completely closed, however, because now they have the opportunity to sign with one of the 32 NFL teams as a free agent.
Although players selected in one of the seven rounds of the NFL Draft have the inside track to make an NFL roster, it is no more of a guarantee than the opportunity afforded to an undrafted free agent.
