Undrafted free agency isn't the glamorous way prospects dream of entering the National Football League. Television cameras don't capture a celebratory moment, and Roger Goodell isn't waiting with a bear hug at the end of a runway. There are no custom jerseys to hold up for the fans, and Twitter doesn't erupt like it does in that first round. The multi-million dollar signing bonuses and guaranteed roster spots don't exist.
It's a more difficult life but one with silver lining perks to its path. Players choose their journeys from a list of offered contracts from teams and have the opportunity to find their best situation.
