Penn State Football 2026: Tracking Undrafted Free Agent Signings

The 2026 NFL Draft has come and gone, and for several former Penn State Nittany Lions, the path to the professional ranks now runs through undrafted free agency. While draft weekend brought celebration for those selected, a new wave of players is now signing with NFL teams looking to bolster their rosters with overlooked talent.

Each year, undrafted free agents prove that the draft is not the only route to NFL success.
