2024 UDFA
- Thread starter DJnVa
- Start date
I've seen a couple already.
Anyone know if Omar Speights got selected? If not, I want him. Also George Holani if he's available.

Nelson Ceaser signed for SEA, he was an interesting undersized passrusher.
Bunch of teams signed QBs

DB out of Alabama State was at the Alabama Pro-day 6'2", 205, good agilities but not a good 40, could end up a safety.

Thank God! The absolute last thing this Pats team needed was 2 more janky WRs.
Interesting they included UDFA above his shoulder in the graphic, like it's a highlight.
My sense is that UDFA scat backs are always available. With just Ramondre and Gibson on our depth chart, don't we need a potential third-down darting dynamic longshot?
And with them bringing Alonzo Highsmith into the front office who is known to be able to find RB it’s a little surprising.
There is still a plethora of RBs available in free agency that will come cheap and will be looking for jobs soon.
Zeke Elliott
Latavius Murray
Boston Scott
Cam Akers
Rashad Penny
Kareem Hunt
Jerick McKinnon
Josh Kelley
Eno Benjamin
Marlon Mack
Matt Breida
Any of these guys would be a solid #3 or #4 even.

Jett Bush signed as a UDFA. 6'2" 240 LB - will hope to follow the footsteps of former teammate Brenden Schooler.
As someone connected inside the Texas program, I am happy to see Bush get a shot. I'd be lying, though, if I thought he had any kind of chance. Hopefully he proves me wrong.

I agree, I was hoping the Pats would draft an RB late who could grow into that 3rd down RB/kick returner role, like Marshawn Lloyd out of USC or Kimani Vidal out of Troy.
Still, I think Jerick McKinnon could make a ton of sense for this roster. The Athletic wrote a whole article about his skills as a pass blocker. With an O-line and WR corps in transition, a veteran QB who hasn't really started since 2022 (and has only started 16 games since 2019), and two rookies in the QB room, having a veteran blocker and pass catcher at RB could be incredibly useful. And ideally, I'd love to bring in a UDFA or another team's roster cut to the practice squad to shadow McKinnon this year and learn.
Edit: Oh, and I guess there's a pretty obvious Kareem Hunt connection with AVP from Cleveland, and they brought him in as a free agent after Chubb went down for the season last year. Would probably prefer McKinnon for pass protection reasons, but Hunt would make sense as well at the very least as a training camp signing.

Anyone familiar with the story here?
Just based on some googling, it just seems he was a guy that wasn't a heralded recruit (as SEC dudes go) and really had to work hard to become a starter. Articles have lots of phrases like "set a good example", and "hard worker", and "tough kid".
Not really a fan of Morgan, as far as Razorbacks go. Only made 15 tackles in his 6th season (first 5 at Pitt), undersized as a 4-3 DE, not fast enough as a 3-4 OLB. Fairly smart in terms of positioning though.
This is a pretty comprehensive list. Some names I haven't seen reported anywhere else
