Former
Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker who also spent four seasons playing for the
Cincinnati Bengals, Dan Skuta, began his career in the NFL as an undrafted free
agent (UDFA).
Former
Cincinnati Bengals player, Daniel Skuta, explains that undrafted free agents
are often in high demand just as soon as the last draft pick is made. It is no
surprise that NFL teams are always in search of the next "diamond in the
rough," trying to take advantage of talent that was perhaps overlooked or
ignored during the pre- and mid-draft process.
As soon as the draft is complete, NFL teams are given the go-ahead to seek out and sign as many undrafted free agents as they wish; players who are subject to the same wage scale as draft picks (around $465,000).
