Just because a player is undrafted doesn’t mean that the NFL dream is over. In fact, there have been plenty of talented B1G players that went undrafted and still ended up having successful NFL careers.
A total of 11 former B1G players made Pro Bowls after going undrafted. Will somebody on this list become the 12th? That remains to be seen.
There are still B1G players — Drew Ott, of course — who haven’t found a home yet because they’re still weighing their options. Think of this as a running tally and not a finalized list.
So with that, here are the known undrafted free agents from the B1G, which is subject to change pending physicals and all of that fun stuff:
