Pittsburgh Steelers undrafted free agent QB John Rhys Plumlee was selected in the 2024 United Football League (UFL) college draft on Thursday, getting selected by the Arlington Renegades with the third overall pick.
Players who are eligible to be selected in the UFL Draft are college players who were eligible for the 2024 NFL Draft but were not selected. UFL teams who select a player exclusively hold onto their rights until that player reports to the team or a team gives up their rights. For example, if an undrafted free agent made an NFL roster and was playing well, the UFL team could relinquish the rights if there’s no chance that they’ll play for that team.
