At the time of this writing, six former Oklahoma State Cowboys have agreed to rookie deals with teams after being passed up during this year’s NFL Draft. UDFAs rarely get their due, but they serve integral roles on each NFL roster. Sometimes they become stars.
Look at last season and Colorado’s Phillip Lindsay, relative of a couple of Pokes and who OSU faced in the Alamo Bowl a couple years ago. He went undrafted before signing a deal with Denver, and then went on to earn Pro Bowl and All-Rookie honors.
What I find most interesting about these undrafted potential pros, is that any perceived prejudices or team/conference biases become null and void.
