2017 UConn Pro Day/UConn in 2017 NFL Draft/UDFA Contracts

Getting to the point where other than the cachet of saying you were drafted - it may be better to be an UDFA and picking best opportunity.
 
Hit translate:

2/4: It is a perfect situation for Andreas, he can even choose from several suitors. He must NOT draftes now. It will not be good.

3/4:The agreements fall into place in a matter of hours. It is at NIGHT that the agreement will be made. But it happens before, when the overall is over.

4/4: Yes, he has an agreement in place with several NFL teams. Can decide which team he wants to play for. A Dane is back in the NFL.

I have just talked with a happy but tired Andreas terse: "I'm tired but it is huge. It is totally game to get in the NFL, "he says.

He tells that the Falcons had shown greater and greater interest in a month. He spoke for the first time with them in January.

The Falcons had no more draft picks after 5. round, but called and said they wanted signing him if he was not selected in the overall.

Søren Hygum Hansen‏ @shygumhansen 2h 2 hours ago
Falcons ' HC Dan Quinn rang personally in the middle of the 6. round and courted the Scarce about coming to the Falcons: "It is a little wild," says Scarce.

"I'm fine with not being selected in the overall. Now I just show them that did not choose me, that they were wrong, "he says.

Søren Hygum Hansen‏ @shygumhansen 2h 2 hours ago
There were a total of 6-7 team that would signe Scarce after overall. He chose the Falcons, because "chemistry" was there. They showed a sincere interest.

Søren Hygum Hansen‏ @shygumhansen 2h 2 hours ago
He should just relax today-he has promised the children in the family, he lives with in Connecticut, that they must view the cartoon "Frost" together ...

Also says he spoke w/ Nick Williams and Blidi Wreh-Wilson about the Falcons

A good selling point for recruiting. That's about 1/3 of a normal recruiting class that will get to put on NFL pads. Obviously UDFA's are a low probability for long term employment but it's a chance. And UConn has plenty of stories of players who have turned that opportunity in to 3-5 years of UDFA to practice squad to regular squad and make $150k-$300k a year. Not a bad gig coming right out of college.
 
Awesome news for all the guys who are one step closer to playing on Sundays and following their dreams! Congrats to all.

One last parting shot at Diaco for me; you had all these good players and had no friggin clue what to do with them! I think Myers and Puyol are going to be real steals for the Ravens, too...
