Re: Redskins bring in Nine Undrafted Rookies.

These guys are a bunch of nobodies....but hey, someone needs to carry the Vets bags!

I am very curious...how many undrafted free agents have made an impact on their respective teams in the past decade?

I said last decade. There are many documented undrafted free agents throughout history, but how many in the salary cap era? (ie: last decade)

Hickman was all pac 10 and had 12.5 sacks and was a beast all season, rather small for nfl but could be a great situational pass rusher like clemons was for us, excellent pick up and i have a strong feeling he is going to make the team

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.
