NFL undrafted free agents: Updated list of notable UDFA signings after 2023 NFL Draft  image

Every player's goal is to hear their name called in the NFL Draft. For some, that moment never comes. That hasn't stopped certain players from using the chip on their shoulder and carving out long careers in the league.

Two hundred and fifty-nine players were selected from April 27-29, but the work isn't yet done for NFL front offices. The end of the draft started a frenzied period of free-agent signings as teams looked to add players they might have thought were worthy of a late-round pick but didn't have a chance to take. 

The undrafted ranks tend to produce major contributors each year, including J.C. Jackson, James Robinson, Phillip Lindsay and Tyler Huntley in the last five years alone. If you go back further, Kurt Warner, Wes Welker, Warren Moon, James Harrison, Antonio Gates and Tony Romo stand out among the best undrafted players in NFL history.
