You are correct. The first thing I thought of was Clemons. Good Pickup he has a good chance.

Lost and found: undrafted free agents face the longest of odds, but there have been plenty in recent years who have made it out of the NFL wilderness Football Digest - Find Articles

Despite those challenges, the list of undrafted players currently making their living in the NFL is impressive. Some of the more prominent names include: quarterbacks Kurt Warner and Jeff Garcia; receivers Smith, Wayne Chrebet, Oronde Gadsmen, Terrence Wilkins, and David Patten; running backs Priest Holmes, James Allen. Dominic Rhodes, Mack Strong, and Stacey Mack; offensive linemen James "Big Cat" Williams, Derrick Deese, Jeff Saturday, Matt Lepsis, and Mark Dixon; defenders Eric Hicks, London Fletcher, Hollis Thomas, Sammy Knight, Willie Whitehead, and Pat Williams; kickers Adam Vinatieri and Olindo Mare; and punter Tom Rouen.

Never count out the underdog. These guys are hungry. I REALLY like that FLETCHER guy on the list!

Wow, there are some GOOD players on this list. I would have guessed maybe 2-3% made it...this list suggests it is likely a little higher than that. Good post. Thanks for the info.

Re: Redskins bring in Nine Undrafted Rookies.

I went to high school with Terry Caulley. He is amazing. He set a ton of records at UConn. Clinton Portix is pretty good but I think he could compliment him.

You a DeMatha guy? Caulley was great a few year ago, but injuries have really set him back

I won't take that bet. The kicker has been around a few years:

Fredrickson spent the 2006 training camp with Dallas. He has previously had NFL stints with Denver and Seattle. He first entered the NFL in 2004 with the Seahawks and played his college ball at California.
