The NFL Draft is an exciting time in the NFL offseason, but one of the more unheralded aspects of the offseason is undrafted free agency. Undrafted talent was littered in the Pro Bowl this past year, showcasing the importance of scouting during this phase of the offseason. Wes Welker, Miles Austin, Antonio Gates, David Akers and Joshua Cribbs were among recent Pro Bowl selections - and all of them were undrafted.
Unfortunately, thanks to the lockout, undrafted free agents are not allowed to sign with teams until the lockout is resolved. This puts the undrafted players at a disadvantage, as they won't be able to go through a proper minicamp and training with their potential team until later in the offseason.
Still, the undrafted free agents will get plenty of looks throughout training camp - whenever that actually takes place. The talent produced out of recent undrafted pools is simply too good to ignore.
With that said, here's a list of the current undrafted free agents from the 2011 NFL Draft, thanks to SB Nation and NFL.com. Click the header to sort by that column.
