The shopping began immediately after the NFL
Draft ended Saturday evening as teams came to terms with the many
undrafted free agents who will try to fight their way on to a
roster.
Going undrafted can be an advantage for a player who has multiple
free agent offers and can pick a team that offers a favorable
situation for him.
Following are many of the FCS players who according to
announcements and reports have signed, agreed to terms or accepted
a tryout with NFL teams. The list will continue to grow as teams
head toward rookie minicamps in May.
