Kentucky Jet Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-7958.html DonWoods 3304-26-2007, 11:01 AM I read somewhere that the NFL is made up of 15% UDFA's, which is a higher pct of players then any other round then the first. Additionally in recent years, such players as Antonio Gates, Kurt Warner, and Priest Holmes have become or were elite players while coming into the league as UDFA's. Here is a list of what I was able to come up with as the All-Time UDFA's team. Note how many Hall of Famers, and Players of the Decade are on it. If you have any additions or guys you think are better feel free to point it out. QB Warren Moon Houston Member Pro Football Hall of Fame QB Dave Krieg Member Seattle Seahawks Ring of Honor QB Kurt Warner STL Rams FB Mack Strong Seattle, FB Tony Richardson Kansas City RB Paul Lowe San Diego Member All-Time All AFL Team RB Priest Holmes Kansas City Chiefs, RB Willie Parker Pittsburgh Steelers WR Drew Pearson Dallas Cowboys Member 1970s NFL Team of Decade WR Rod Smith Denver Broncos WR Wayne Cherbet New York Jets TE Antonio Gates San Diego Chargers OT Joe Jacoby Washington Member 1980s NFL Team of Decade, 70 Greatest Redskins OT Matt Lepsis Denver Broncos OG Larry Little Miami Dolphins Member Pro Football Hall of Fame C Jim Langer Miami Dolphins Member Pro Football Hall of Fame C Jeff Saturday Indinapolis Colts OG Brian Waters Kansas City Chiefs, OG Kris Deilman San Diego Chargers OT James "Big Cat" Williams Chicago Bears OT Derrick Deese San Francisco 49ers K Adam Vinateri New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts DE Adewale Ogunleye Chicago Bears DE Coy Bacon Los Angeles Rams DT John Randle Minnesota Vikings Member 1990s NFL Team of Decade DT Pat Williams Minnesota Vikings, Jim Burt NY Giants LB London Fletcher Buffalo Bills LB Bart Scott Baltimore Ravens LB Jesse Tuggle Member Atlanta Falcons All time team CB Willie Wood Green Bay Packers Member Pro Football Hall of Fame CB Willie Brown Oakland Raiders Member Pro Football Hall of Fame CB Herm Edwards Philadelphia Eagles SS Cliff Harris SS Dallas Cowboys Member 1970s NFL Team of Decade, SS Deron Cherry Kansas City Chiefs Member 1980s NFL Team of Decade FS Mike Rienfeldt Member Houston Oilers All-Time Team, FS Sammy Knight P Darren Bennett San Diego Chargers Member 1990s NFL Team of Decade RS Eddie Payton Minnesota (He is the great Walter Payton's brother) ST Larry Izzo Miami Dolphins -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hijacked from NFL Step of JA! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 thats an impressive list but they are needles in haystacks if you followed it up with those who didn't make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cant Hackett Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 thats an impressive list but they are needles in haystacks if you followed it up with those who didn't make it Keep in mind the draft was 12 rounds until 1993, finding a Warren Moon or Cliff Harris was petty tough after all thoses rounds.

DMaynard Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Willie Wood was a free safety, not a CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
