Undrafted free agents typically need a year on the practice squad to develop their skills. The Washington team signed eleven undrafted players after the 2024 draft, four of whom are aiming for roster positions. Michael Wiley showed promise in preseason but was waived and re-signed to the practice squad. Norell Pollard, on injured reserve, managed only one tackle in preseason. The challenges faced by these players illustrate the competitive nature of team rosters and the resilience required to succeed in the NFL.
"Undrafted free agents often need time on the practice squad to develop their skills, as most lack immediate NFL readiness and require grooming for potential roster spots."
"Examples of undrafted players breaking through include Andrew Wylie, Trent Scott, Frankie Luvu, and Jeremy Reaves, showing that opportunities can arise from the practice squad."
