While nobody selected him in the 2024 NFL Draft, John Rhys Plumlee can still call himself a first-round pick. The Arlington Renegades selected him third overall in the 2024 UFL Draft, now holding his rights for that league.

A rookie college free agent, John Rhys Plumlee signed with the Steelers this year after going undrafted. They already had quarterbacks Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, and Kyle Allen, but we don’t know what his options were.
