i hope you didn't mean that literally-they are both alive and have done quite well post football

Scott Hunter and Jerry Tagge are still alive. Hunter celebrated last season when Bryce Young broke won of Scott's  passing records from the 1960s

My old boss' son went undrafted, but was picked up by the KC Chiefs as an UDFA.

He had video of "the call" and how the family went bonkers.  TBH, I didn't understand that, I mean, it's better than no shot at the NFL, but I imagine the success rate at making a roster is low when 260+ guys were picked ahead of you.

I have had the opportunity to interact with a lot of college athletes who have the potential to be fringe professionals.  All they want is a chance.  Especially football players where there are no opportunities in other countries like basketball, or a large network of minor league teams.  A non-tryout camp invite at least gets their foot in the door.

I went to high school with Alec Pierce's uncle (he walked on at DePaul) and have stayed friends with him since. It was really cool to see him get drafted by the Colts, as the family lives in Glen Ellyn. Pierce's brother played basketball at William & Mary and then transferred to UNC.

Yup, my BIL is friends with Josh Seltzner who signed with the Colts.  Josh is ecstatic for the opportunity even if the chance is small of sticking.

And there's an argument to be made that it's better to the a UDFA than a 7th round pick. As a free agent, you have some control over where you go and can pick a team that may have more opportunities at your position, or a track record of keeping/developing undrafted players.

Peddle Love ass. He ain't worth a chit, hey?

Go on

[Uncle Rico]

Big fan of him.  Lots of work to do with him on the developmental side.  Ole Miss ran a QB-friendly offense that made things easy for him but the dude plays balls out.

Projecting to the NFL is tough with QBs like him and I'm not sure Carolina is a great spot for a guy like him but wouldn't surprise me if he's the best QB in this class

Idiot

Would love to see the Pack pick up Khalil Shakir.

Good call on this.  Good player
