UFL draft sees teams load up on undrafted prospects as NFL training camps start

The UFL season just recently ended, with the Birmingham Stallions blanking the San Antonio Brahmas in the championship game on June 16th. On July 17th, the UFL held its draft for players.

The players in the UFL draft pool are those who were eligible for the 2024 NFL Draft but were not selected back in April. Player must be at least three years removed from playing high school football. Effectively, it’s undrafted free agent rookies. The UFL teams will hold exclusive rights to the drafted players, though all players will have an “NFL Out” clause that allows them to sign with the NFL, but only during the NFL regular season.

Seven of the eight players selected in the first round are offensive prospects, led by former Kansas QB Jason Bean. The Memphis Showboats made Bean the No. 1 overall pick.

Many players selected are already on NFL training camp rosters as undrafted rookies, including players like Isaiah Williams, Gabe Hall, Kedon Slovis and Sam Hartman.
