    Not sure if anybody is "bad" at it. The primary objective is just to fill out the roster to 90 bodies for training camp and create some competition. When an UDFA makes a team's roster, it's a bonus.

    The roster will eventually get trimmed to 53 plus 8 on the practice squad so there's not much room for any of the UDFAs stick around. I read the other day that 50 UDFAs were rostered on opening day last year, so that's about 1½ per team. I like the K-State guy's chances this year.

    They can't unless they're starting with only 70 since there's a roster limit of 90. The Titans are at about 80 now, so they can't sign all of the ones now linked to them unless they cut some of their guys signed to futures contracts. Or, it's possible that some of the UDFAs now linked to them are only on tryouts.

    Do the 10 players selected in the draft count against the 90 now or do they have to sign a contract before they start getting counted?

    ...and how does one compare the two to begin with? One was never productive at the college level, the other wins the Heisman. One was questioned immediately after being drafted by the talking heads, the other has some calling this our best pick. We had another RB named Henry before Chris BTW, he was pretty good even if he was dealing dope.

    Last question... I'm not sure what your shot at D. Henry has to do with undrafted free agents... or is this because you're butt hurt your guy didn't get selected?

    Just getting tired of all the whiners taking shots in every freaking thread... tell ya what, go make an entire thread just for the Henry hate. Not all of us enjoy whining 24/7.

    I just wanted to post that vid.

    I said good things about Henry in other threads. I don't think I'd want him at KR, though.
