Six of the 22 position players on Pro Football Focus’ All-Week 1 NFL team didn’t have their names called during that red-blooded, three-day American holiday known as the NFL draft.
That’s two more than the number of former first-round picks who made that same PFF team.
“What we preach around here is to forget where you were drafted or if you were drafted,” said Vikings safety Anthony Harris, a five-year veteran undrafted out of Virginia.
That’s not a sermon that’s exclusive to the Vikings. But they have belted a few home runs with the likes of Adam Thielen and a couple of Hall of Famers named Mick Tingelhoff and John Randle.
