It’s the dream of every NFL hopeful to hear his name called during the NFL Draft, and several Seminoles had that dream become reality over the last few days. Of course, that dream is only realized by so many players each year; but not being drafted doesn't necessarily mean that one’s goal of playing professionally comes to an end.
Many players go on to cultivate successful careers as undrafted free agents. Often, not being drafted affords players with numerous options a bit of leverage, as well as the freedom to select which franchise makes the most sense. We’ll keep an eye on the following Seminole UFAs, as they’ll look to secure invitations to workouts and sign contracts in the hours and days to come.
Some destinations are already known:
