You do know the Saints (just that one team) has 19 players who never got drafted on their current roster, right? Just because you have never seen those guys before, does not equate in them being poor athletes

They were 1 week into a new system. That was the huge difference

The sheer numbers/probability and size of NFL rosters of course means there will be a percentage of NFL players who are undrafted that make rosters.

So yes, 19 undrafted players are on the Saints. And probably another 100 or so throughout the league. Which means of the roughly 200-300 guys a year (I'm estimating) which go undrafted, it's a very small portion that even make it into the league, much less actually turn into major contributors.

I can only think of like 3-4 guys who are legit stars that weren't drafted...
