College Football's Best Players Not Taken in the 2021 NFL Draft

With the 2021 NFL Draft officially in the books, it’s time to look back and see which of college football’s biggest stars went undrafted. Whether it was a concern about size, overall talent, an injury, how a player will transition from scheme or handle the jump to the NFL, a handful of stars from the previous college football season did not hear their name called over the three-day event.

Every position featured a notable college star who didn't get drafted, including quarterbacks like SMU's Shane Buechele, Arkansas' Feleipe Franks, Georgia's Jamie Newman, and prolific running backs like Buffalo's Jaret Patterson, UAB's Spencer Brown, Louisville's Javian Hawkins and Marshall's Brenden Knox.
