how many would you guess? I would like to think Line & Reed will get looks. At least 2 and as many as 4-5?

I'm going to guess that most, if not all, of our guys stick on a team somewhere, but it's kind of a let-down that in a year we have the highest drafted prospect in a lot of years, no one else got drafted. oh well.

I like these signings, especially Zach Line signing with the Vikings. I'm a big fan of the Vikings and I think h has a really good chance of making the roster

Seems like with ap and gerhart there isn't much of a shot?
I think him and jg have the best chance of sticking in the nfl but he is not on the best team.
Jg I think will stick because he is excellent on special teams even though he is undersized at backer

AD is a freak of nature and will take a majority of snaps (he had about 75% of the team's rushes), but I don't like Gerhart. He hasn't live up to his second round expectations and is entering the last year of his contract. There isn't anything Gerhart can do that Zach Line can't do better in my opinion. Worst case scenario, Zach is the third back this year and then moves up to backup and third down back next season

I'm exteremely surprised Zach didn't get drafted. I think Taylor Reed has the best chance of sticking in the NFL. He's in the perfect spot. I'm a huge Cowboys fan and even I'm not sure who is the backup to Sean Lee at MLB. He's definitely got a chance to stick. Good look to all of our UFA in making an NFL roster. Sterling Moore and Cole Beasley show that it's definitely possible with hard work.

40 time at the combine probably killed any chance of his getting drafted

although he hasn't made their roster, Chris Banjo is perhaps the best example of what hard work can earn a player. Good to see that al of these guys will at least get a shot. With full time emphasis on becoming professional football players, let's hope they can continue to develop and stick somewhere. No question that we've seen some upgrading of the talent coming to SMU to have this many guys at least getting looks from NFL teams

Will be interesting to follow these camps and see how many guys make the team. Would be great if the majority did. Good luck to all these mustangs
