Those players will certainly get opportunities as undrafted free agents, but entering your NFL career fighting to make a roster without a contract is an uphill battle no one wants to partake in.
Five players were selected. Aidan Hutchinson and Daxton Hill in the first round, David Ojabo in the second, Hassan Haskins in the fourth, and Andrew Stueber in the seventh.
