Former Tennessee Vol long snapper, Morgan Cox, is defying the odds. Many undrafted free agents sign tender contracts with NFL teams, but the chance of making the team is slim. The odds become even slimmer if you fill a specialist position. At least that is the general line of thinking ... which is not always true.
What is better? Being drafted in the Mr. Irrelevant position of the NFL Draft or being invited to try out as a free agent? While being drafted at all parlays bragging rights to many players, being in the position of an undrafted free agent is actually the better position for players to be in. Even if a player is drafted dead last, that player is stuck with that team. If the player had simply gone unnoticed one more selection, he could essentially pick and choose which team he wanted to try out for, while giving him the best opportunity to select the team with the higher need. no comments
