Undrafted Free Agent Signings For Mountain West Teams

by Jeremy Mauss on Jul 29, 2011 9:00 AM PDT in NFL Draft

With the NFL lockout finally over it meant that the undrafted rookie free agents could find a team to sing with, and with the expanded training camp rosters increased from 80 to 90 a lot more of these players were picked up. Below will be the free agent signings by current, former and past Mountain West members who were picked up.

FYI

This list is missing TCU NT Kelly Griffin to SD. Also TCU DE Wayne Daniels was rumored to have signed with the Jets but I guess the terms fell through but i would look for him to sign somewhere soon. Here is the official list of 2010 TCU seniors on NFL rosters right now per gofrogs.com:

Marcus Cannon (OT, fifth-round pick, New England Patriots)
Andy Dalton (QB, second-round pick, Cincinnati Bengals)
Evan Frosch (TE, free agent, Cleveland Browns)
Kelly Griffin (NT, free agent, San Diego Chargers)
Bart Johnson (WR, free agent, Cincinnati Bengals)
Colin Jones (S, sixth-round pick, San Francisco 49ers
Jeremy Kerley (WR, fifth-round pick, New York Jets)
Jake Kirkpatrick (C, free agent, Indianapolis Colts)
Jason Teague (CB, free agent, Houston Texans)
Malcolm Williams (CB, seventh-round pick, New England Patriots)
Jimmy Young (WR, free agent, Chicago Bears)

Indianapolis got a steal

I can’t believe that Jake Kirkpatrick wasn’t drafted.
