The 2019 NFL draft is behind us, and OTA’s (Organized Team Activity) will commence shortly, followed by minicamp. For those players fortunate enough to have been drafted, the excitement of stepping onto an NFL practice field and, hopefully, into an NFL stadium abounds.
The organization that drafted these players is also excited to see whether or not the scouts, coaches, and the General Manager were accurate in their assessment during the draft process. The drafted players notwithstanding, another group of players garners attention: the undrafted free agents (UDFA).
For these players, the aforementioned excitement abounds tenfold as they realize that they are competing against not only drafted players, but other UDFA’s as well.
