Washington Commanders UDFA Spotlight Second Years: RB Michael Wiley, DT Norell Pollard, QB Sam Hartman, SS Ben Nikkel
Briefly

Undrafted free agents frequently require time on practice squads to develop their skills for the NFL. Many undrafted players may never make the active roster and instead spend time in camps and offseason activities without significant playing time. However, some successfully transition into valuable roles on active teams. The Washington Commanders signed eleven undrafted free agents after the 2024 draft, and four remain in consideration for roster spots, including Michael Wiley, who had a promising preseason performance, and Norell Pollard, who faced injury setbacks.
"Many times, undrafted players that don't make the final roster toil away in camps and offseason activities without ever seeing the light of day, but occasionally some break through to carve out roles on NFL teams."
"Michael Wiley profiled as third-down back and possible backup for Austin Ekeler. The former Arizona running back opened some eyes in preseason with 17 attempts for 67 yards and 2 touchdowns, while adding six catches for 37 yards."
