Interesting article in today's Globe on the number of UDFA's that will be playing in the SB, on both teams.
Super Bowl rosters littered with undrafted players - The Boston Globe
This year’s Super Bowl between the Patriots and Giants will include more than two dozen players who weren’t drafted. With Wes Welker, Brian Waters, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Danny Woodhead, Victor Cruz, and Mark Herzlich among them, it’s a group that will make an impact on the league’s signature game. One could end up being the difference.
I believe that the Patriots have about 15 on their roster and the Giants about 10. I've always considered the UDFA's as an important extention of the draft. The difference between the quality of player taken in the 4th through 7th rounds and the UDFA's is very minor, usually a ? about an injury or playing in a small school.
