Building the NFL's all-undrafted team entering the 2026 season

The article builds a “starting lineup” for the NFL’s all-undrafted team entering the 2026 season, using performance benchmarks to compare the undrafted pool to the smaller group typically selected in the seventh round. It says undrafted free agents logged over 103,000 combined snaps last season, more than three times the roughly 34,000 snaps from seventh-round picks, creating a deeper candidate set. At quarterback, it names Jake Browning of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, noting only 10 undrafted quarterbacks recorded at least 100 dropbacks over the past three seasons and that Browning leads with 448 dropbacks and a 66.7 PFF passing grade. For running back, the team selects Jaylen Warren of the Pittsburgh Steelers after a career-best 81.0 PFF grade, more than 1,000 rushing yards, and eight touchdowns. It also highlights Brandon Aubrey as a standout undrafted specialist, with 36 made field goals from 50+ yards and 80.0% accuracy. The piece emphasizes how rare roster security is for undrafted players compared with drafted prospects.
