Many players who will watch three days of the NFL draft and not hear their name called will still go on to have fantastic pro careers. We see undrafted gems carve out a role in the NFL every year.
Some of the game's all-time greats slipped past every team multiple times and were never drafted. There are players who weren't deemed worthy of a draft pick who ended up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
