I won't take that bet. The kicker has been around a few years:

Fredrickson spent the 2006 training camp with Dallas. He has previously had NFL stints with Denver and Seattle. He first entered the NFL in 2004 with the Seahawks and played his college ball at California.

You a DeMatha guy? Caulley was great a few year ago, but injuries have really set him back

I am very curious...how many undrafted free agents have made an impact on their respective teams in the past decade?

Hickman was all pac 10 and had 12.5 sacks and was a beast all season, rather small for nfl but could be a great situational pass rusher like clemons was for us, excellent pick up and i have a strong feeling he is going to make the team

You are correct. The first thing I thought of was Clemons. Good Pickup he has a good chance.

Lost and found: undrafted free agents face the longest of odds, but there have been plenty in recent years who have made it out of the NFL wilderness Football Digest - Find Articles

Despite those challenges, the list of undrafted players currently making their living in the NFL is impressive. Some of the more prominent names include: quarterbacks Kurt Warner and Jeff Garcia; receivers Smith, Wayne Chrebet, Oronde Gadsmen, Terrence Wilkins, and David Patten; running backs Priest Holmes, James Allen. Dominic Rhodes, Mack Strong, and Stacey Mack; offensive linemen James "Big Cat" Williams, Derrick Deese, Jeff Saturday, Matt Lepsis, and Mark Dixon; defenders Eric Hicks, London Fletcher, Hollis Thomas, Sammy Knight, Willie Whitehead, and Pat Williams; kickers Adam Vinatieri and Olindo Mare; and punter Tom Rouen.

Never count out the underdog. These guys are hungry. I REALLY like that FLETCHER guy on the list!

Quick question! When does the offical training camp start when all the players come and so can the fans??

Priest Holmes didn't get drafted??? WOW. That's nuts.

Sirius NFL commentators mentioned that the third highest percentage of active players is made up of the UFA's. They based this on each Draft Round vs. the UFA's. There is approximately 22% of the current NFL players that were signed as UFA's. Just something to think about.

The Redskins home page mentioned 3 existing QBs on our roster. We have Casey Bramlet in NFL Europe and now 2 more via the draft and UFA. That makes a total of 6!

What happens to all of these QBs???

I know Brunell won't last much longer, but how can they utilize 3 young quarterbacks and a back up who has only started a handful of games?
