Every year, each NFL club keeps a few undrafted free agent (UFA) rookies. It is inevitable.
And the league has had numerous great players that were once undrafted such as Tony Romo, James Harrison, Warren Moon, Arian Foster, Drew Pearson, Justin Tucker, Victor Cruz, Larry Little, Wes Welker, Adam Vinatieri, Nate Newton, Coy Bacon, Joe Jacoby, Emlen Tunnell, Antonio Gates and John Randle, to name a few.
Cleveland has kept their share over the years. These players have the same rights to start or make the roster as any other player. Hard work, the right coaching staff, an injury here or there, one key moment and perhaps the right scheme is all it takes.
