Nearly half of Seattle's roster went Undrafted

[Pugz]

Fact: 21 of the 53 players on the Seattle Seahawks' roster came into the NFL as undrafted free agents.

23 of the 2009 Saints were undrafted, along with 5 7th rounders

I think this has to do with having the right build for football but having going undrafted motivate the fuck out of you to get good enough to make a team. And it's people like that, who have good work ethic, that can surpass more naturally talented but lazy players.

Or they have excellent scouting.

I don't think it's that uncommon to have several undrafted guys.  I think the Broncos have like 15 or 16 as well.

 

[dcpwner]

yeah scouting is definitely part of it. But I'm just saying to make a team from undrafted (and not play just special teams) you need to be highly motivated most likely

I think what's most impressive about them is where their starting secondary was drafted:
 
Thomas 1st round
CHancellor 5th Round
SHerman 5th Round
Maxwell 6th Round

How many of them are key contributors?
