Undrafted Gems

Was reading this good article about undrafted gems. Take a look, see if it jumps out to you as it did to me... Saints everywhere! Beyond that story...
de la Puente, C
Lance Moore, WR
Pierre Thomas, RB
Chris Ivory, RB
Jed Collins, FB
Chase Daniel, backup QB
Tom Johnson, DT
Junior Galette, DE
David Hawthorne, LB
Jabari Greer, CB
Garrett Hartley, K
That's 11 significant players! And that's not all the UDFAs on the team. Not all were scouted/found by this staff but it has to be one of the higher % of impact UDFAs on a team in the NFL. Kudos to the FO for going with "what they see" not just what might be the easier or more popular choices to fans.
Ya never know with UDFAs but maybe Joe Morgan or a name or two from the just signed UDFAs will be on this list in a few years.

A good article. Thanks.
I love this time of the year. Definitely a draftaholic, but I also love the Undrafted FA signing frenzy. I just love the idea of finding that diamond in the rough that everyone overlooked that will come in and fight with a chip on his shoulder for his entire career.

Does this mean the Saints should go after J. Jefferson? He does wear #9 pretty well.

We don't get direct credit for Greer as he was signed by Bills as a free agent in 04. I know he was a pro bowl like talent for them and we got him in free agency after he proved himself.
Just food for thought. We didn't go get him like we did Daniels and Ivory.

Yeah, but he's still a UDFA that shined for us.

Did you not read blues post? He literally said we can't take credit for all of them because some were found by other teams.
