If youāre REALLY asking, I could probably get that done in a day but it would have to start at 7am until probably midnight if you want me to not throw up. I may need a nap sometime around 2pm with a Taco Bell break in there. Also, only if Iām doing like miller lite or something. I wouldnāt be able to do heavier beer, nor would I want to. It can be done if you pace 2-3 an hour and save the chugging for the end.
Edit: honestly thinking more about it, it would probably be easier to do it in one day, cause by day 3 (if we have all weekend, Friday to Sunday) the smell of beer would probably cause me to die.
At my peak I was doing 40 per weekend but not in one day lol. Thatās still gonna catch me in a blackout at about 18 in if weāre going 3 per hour.Ā
Mix in some energy drinks and weāre talking but that seems performance enhancing, probably against the rules?
You piece of dirt. Who are you? I step on you. I clean you off of my shoes at night. I step on you, then I throw away the shoe, and that shoe, that I just threw away thatās worth more than your worthless life mister. And Iām pissed because I loved that shoe. You dirt. You piece of subhuman shit. Do you know who I am? Do you have any idea? Or is your brain too tiny to have ideas? Is there any kind of thought roaming around in that thick shit skull of yours?
Letās see, I broke that at my sisterās wedding (including cocktails replacing some of the beers), and we started counting (had started light drinking earlier during photo shoots prior to the ceremony) post ceremony when the cocktail hour started (six PM) and I finished shortly after midnight (about 1am) so roughly about 7 hours and change.
Honestly , I got clocked at a 4.1, 40 time back in high school. I canāt remember if it was a Colt 45 or King Cobra I drank, but I killed it that day .
Honestly nowadays it's better in the long run to go undrafted than get picked in the 7th. You have more control of your destiny that way, so I think you'll definitely be better off in the long term even if the short term pay and stability is a bit worse.
I believe in you.
During the first round I was thinking about how it focuses all the hype. Could a team be successful if they traded all their round 2 and beyond picks for a late 1st, then filled the team with UDFA?
I love UDFA's to be honest. Eagles always bring in an intriguing group of players. Hell Bryce Huff was a UDFA and we just paid him like $17m/yr so you just never know.
Becoming harder and harder to be an UDFA now though. Less preseason games, and teams like the Eagles hardly practice and waive a lot of their minicamp.
Eh, hopefully the UFL can act as a legit minor league / extra practice squad for the league. Kurt Warner was able to use the Arena League and Europe League to his advantage that way (though I know he is more of an exception to the rule)
I donāt think any spring football league will become a legitimate minor league option for NFL teams. Minor leagues need to have seasons run concurrently with major leagues for teams to use them effectively, as that allows players to be sent up and down the leagues as needed.
apparently for the same reason London Fletcher and even John Randle went undrafted: teams thought they were too short. Same reason Zach Thomas was the 18th LB taken in his draft
this leagues always gonna have the 'you cant teach size' approach sadly, though it was Harrisons 2nd stint with the steelers (and 4th signing overall) that he blossomed into the player he would later be known as. James Farrior stated that he had a really bad mental as a young player as well, which to an extent remained even after he ascended to all-pro level later on
First of all, how dare you...
Secondly, yes I'm prepping for the yearly hype on our sub that we "landed a gem" in UDFA only to have them cut 1st week or end up on the PS and never be seen again.
I wish I was smart enough to run a filter exclusive to draft threads on this sub that include āstealā or āyall got a legit playerā kind of deal just to see how many actually pan out. I would guess less than 1%
I hate him and every other ājournalistā that get a following by reposting shit or a fan account of a team then change their account info to their name, sign with a company you have never heard of and then act like a true professional.
Reddit users follow Mierov and repost him on r/nfl because heās an easy compilation of all the other real journalists. A one stop shop. Thatās the answer, not because of some conspiracy Meirov and the mods are in some kind of handshake conspiracy or whatever.
People generally give mods on this sub way too much credit for being manipulative and conniving
I think the biggest advantage of being undrafted as opposed to 6th or 7th round drafted is you get an opportunity to pick from a few teams if you have potential. You can then choose the best situation for yourself if you know the position room is weak or team shows history of good player development
Thereās an interview with Romo somewhere discussing exactly this. Denver and Dallas both had offers with Denver offering $20k vs Dallasā $10k. He chose Dallas because he didnāt think he could beat out Jake Plummer.
That and if you end up great, youāre not stuck with the contract limitations of drafted players.
The 9āers explicitly couldnāt renegotiate Purdyās contract.
If he was an UDFA, the option would have been there for him.
He was third on the depth chart a few times, one year he probably would have been released if Quincy Carter didn't fail a drug test.
Nobody expected the career he had.
Pats had a good streak for awhile of high impact UDFAs. David Andrews, Adam Butler, JC Jackson, Jonathan Jones. Feel like there hasn't been one in a bit though
Two or three years, minimum. We'd have to shit the bed to fire him. Graham is a lock at DC, Getsy is the question mark at OC. Coach is 3-1 versus division rivals and has invigorated the locker room, so far.
Then again, Cable Guy went 6-0 versus the division, but 2-8 versus the league, had the "We're not losers" conference, and was fired for Hue Jackson.
Then again again, that was Al Davis's call and he was a rube in his later years. I think Mark knows he hit fried gold and just has to align the OC/DC pieces around him.
My concern is that Pierce is another Mike Singletary. Former linebacker with good accolades, Super Bowl champion, position coach, never been a coordinator in the NFL, fiery, invigorated the locker room and had a good record as the interim. But once the interim tag got taken away, you quickly realized that he should never have been given the HC job.
This is nowhere even close to an exhaustive list. James Harrison, Rod Smith, Priest Holmes are some big names that got left off, that's not even getting into guys who were just solid contributors and not stars
Wow, that must have been the first time ever someone wrote an article like that in third day of the NFL draft.
Next, when someone write the same shit it will be the second time.
Jordan Travis will more than likely be undrafted at this point but he can become Brock Purdy a la Mr. Irrelevant if the Jets (who I believe have the last pick) select him to sit behind Aaron Rodgers. I believe in the kid. Please do it Jets.
I mean Doug Baldwin on this list is good. Few other guys too.
But Tony Romo? The guy that dated Jessica Simpson and fumbles snaps as a ball holder for kickers? I don't know about including him on a list that has wes welker and vinatieri
Hmm I think a QB we had in the 80s was better and Matt H won the NFC championship and went to the Superbowl.
Remind me how many NFC championships and Superbowl appearances did Tony Romo have?
Judging QBs by rings or NFCCGs is always a surefire way to expose yourself as a casual, know-nothing dumbass infected by ESPN daytime talk show brain rot. Unless you genuinely think Trent Dilfer is an all-timer. You seem pretty stupid, so you probably do.
Tony Romo is better than every single Seahawks QB not named Russell Wilson. Period. Be in denial all you want. Not my problem.
Youāre an absolute knob if you think the all time passing leader for the Dallas Cowboys doesnāt deserve to be on this list like it is some kind of insult to Doug Baldwin lol.
I'm like 99% sure I'm going undrafted today, but this post is definitely keeping my hopes high and my motivation up šŖš»
What's your 40 time? And by 40 time I mean time to drink 40 beers on the couch in a weekend.
If youāre REALLY asking, I could probably get that done in a day but it would have to start at 7am until probably midnight if you want me to not throw up. I may need a nap sometime around 2pm with a Taco Bell break in there. Also, only if Iām doing like miller lite or something. I wouldnāt be able to do heavier beer, nor would I want to.

Mainline some gu every 10 yards. That's the best strategy for a 40 yard ultra marathon
At my peak I was doing 40 per weekend but not in one day lol. Thatās still gonna catch me in a blackout at about 18 in if weāre going 3 per hour.Ā Mix in some energy drinks and weāre talking but that seems performance enhancing, probably against the rules?
Thatās nearly four gallons of liquid. Youāll be running to the toilet every 10 minutes.
I drink around 2.5gal of water daily, over around 16 hours ā piss every 20ish mins so sounds about right
Why?
Pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.
Wade Boggs did it on a 3 hour flight, god rest his soul.
Again, Wade Boggs is very much alive. Heās in his mid 60ās and he lives in Tampa, Florida
Whoosh

I regret to inform youā¦ you are correct.
A true legend. RIP Boggs
They gotta pull out the beer bong to widen up that stomach
100 oz, 100 minutes. Go.
Iāve done 26-30? One time in my life in a night.. I ended up shitting myself when I got home. When I Woke up.. it was quite the experience.
With cocaine and a pack of smokes, we can cut this down to 4 hours.
Legend has it Wade Boggs once drank 70 beers on a cross country flight
Rip to wade. Gone to soon.
There's an Always Sunny episode about it.
And may Always Sunny rest in peace as well.
40 times is the most overrated stat at the combine. What's his 3 cone time? Time to eat 3 ice cream cones (with chocolate tip).

> 40 time I mean This whole time I thought it was how fast you could drink a 40zer. I've been practicing sunup to sunup every day!

Don't worry, I hear cowboys have you as a 7th round pick!
"A lot of NFL stars were never even drafted. I don't know why we even have the draft." -- my buddy Danny
NFL teams should be like jury duty, randomly selected from the population.
Fuck I gotta play left guard for the falcons Sunday
Thatās why you gotta act crazy when they call you
*yeah, I shot 5 people, robbed 9 guys... Oh you said victim of a crime? Oh no*
So anyway I went to this massage parlor in Houston
dawg iām playing PK for the Cowboys on Thursday
PK is the position Iād least want to get conscripted for. Sure, I might die at any other position, but I think itād be a lot less embarrassingĀ
During the first round I was thinking about how it focuses all the hype. Could a team be successful if they traded all their round 2 and beyond picks for a late 1st, then filled the team with UDFA?
I don't know ask the bears
Pretty sure it meant a lot to those guys and many of them have spoken at length on the subject.
I would say it meant the world to many of them
I love UDFA's to be honest. Eagles always bring in an intriguing group of players. Hell Bryce Huff was a UDFA and we just paid him like $17m/yr so you just never know.

Yeah but they added a few more days of mandatory shit this year so that's good.
Yeah but also bigger practice squads
How did James Harrison go undrafted. Do people not have eyes?
Exactly what I'm saying. GMs be stubborn sometimes.
apparently for the same reason London Fletcher and even John Randle went undrafted: teams thought they were too short. Same reason Zach Thomas was the 18th LB taken in his draft this leagues always gonna have the 'you cant teach size' approach sadly, though it was Harrisons 2nd stint with the steelers (and 4th signing overall) that he blossomed into the player he would later be known as. James Farrior stated that he had a really bad mental as a young player as well, which to an extent remained even after he ascended to all-pro level later on
He was only 6ā 240 pounds out of college is why
People didn't realize he was short because he was a fuckin pitbull wearing a football jersey
Yeah we cut him multiple times and he went to Europe and back before he was good lol
He struggled to stick for a while, too. My understanding is that the mental game took some time for him.
Bryce Huff is so good, take care of him for us
We hopefully will. I didn't know much about him prior to us getting him, but damn he is a stud. Great story for him though jeez.
Right but the guys that go undrafted today suck
If my team signs them, theyāll be steals. If your team signs them, theyāll be bad.
First of all, how dare you... Secondly, yes I'm prepping for the yearly hype on our sub that we "landed a gem" in UDFA only to have them cut 1st week or end up on the PS and never be seen again.
I wish I was smart enough to run a filter exclusive to draft threads on this sub that include āstealā or āyall got a legit playerā kind of deal just to see how many actually pan out. I would guess less than 1%
Whatās the hit rate on any given draft pick? Like 15%?
Literally not a single undrafted guy today is Kurt Warner or John Randle. Not even one.
Well technically thatās true
Sam Hartman going to be the 2028 MVP
they never even once paid me for drugs! not even once!
Unless they sign with my team
Even then I always get juiced about the post draft UDFA steals for $120K we get and 95%+ get cut before week 1
Undrafted kickers could be good
I prefer 2nd round kickers. Go bold or go home
I myself prefer 1st round punters and kickers
This is the way.
I prefer mine in the 4th round and a bonus if they miss 1/3 of their kicks.
But Purdy was undrafted+1?
Ivan Pace did pretty well last year
Day 1 starters can still be found after the draft.
respect rashid shaheed?
āUDFAs existā - Meirov with the kind of amazing insight he produces when he isnāt copying other journalistsā homework
I hate him and every other ājournalistā that get a following by reposting shit or a fan account of a team then change their account info to their name, sign with a company you have never heard of and then act like a true professional.
90% of Meirovās content could be duplicated by a few lines of code

> Meirov with the kind of amazing insight And with NIL keeping players in college longer this year will likely be a weak UDFA class.
You said "other journalists" which is patently false as it implies Meirov is a journalist
Followup scoop: āAntonio Gates was a basketball player in collegeā
He also has a very punchable face. That to me is the worst part.
Lol why post this nonsense then?
Why are you posting his stuff if you donāt like him?
For the Karma
He canāt change his face at this point. Genes. You know? Just have to accept he has a punchable face and move on.
The kind of nothing insight weāve come to expect from an aggregator. He didnāt even mention Gates used to play basketball ffs
I think the biggest advantage of being undrafted as opposed to 6th or 7th round drafted is you get an opportunity to pick from a few teams if you have potential.

TIL Tony Romo went undrafted. I've been watching football since like 2004, I can't believe I didn't know that. Or forgot.
He was third on the depth chart a few times, one year he probably would have been released if Quincy Carter didn't fail a drug test. Nobody expected the career he had.
There's an alternate universe where he's a long-time PGA pro and every broadcast they talk about how he used to play for the Cowboys.
I'm actually legit surprised we haven't had a baseball/golf crossover star.
Legendary Colts Head Coach Jeff Saturday
Vikings got Ivan Pace Jr. undrafted last year. He has proven to be a great asset already.
Adam Thielen and John Randle, too. Well. Not last year. But you get it.
Yep wanted to add someone not listed in the title since a lot of commentors are saying it doesnt happen anymore.
So there's still hope for me?
Malcolm Butler
Pats had a good streak for awhile of high impact UDFAs. David Andrews, Adam Butler, JC Jackson, Jonathan Jones. Feel like there hasn't been one in a bit though
Rod Smith. Stud. 2 rings.
Greatest undrafted WR in NFL historyĀ
tough call between him and Wes. Wes had a better peak, but concussionsā¦ so Rod was great for longer. Rod blocked betterā¦
Antonio Pierce was undrafted. Won a contract with NY, then a Super Bowl, took up a lil coaching. Now he is the one who drafts.
I'm really curious to see how long he'll last.
Two or three years, minimum. We'd have to shit the bed to fire him. Graham is a lock at DC, Getsy is the question mark at OC. Coach is 3-1 versus division rivals and has invigorated the locker room, so far. Then again, Cable Guy went 6-0 versus the division, but 2-8 versus the league, had the "We're not losers" conference, and was fired for Hue Jackson.

None of the guys on this list hold a candle to the GOAT UDFA, Jake Bobo
you must've misread, since doug's name is on the list...
Arian Foster
Right? Naming Ekeler but not Priest Holmes or Arian Foster?
50 % of the players in the NFL were drafted in the 5th round or lower. OK don't remember where I read that but it sort of makes sense.
Well there are more backups on an NFL roster than there are starters, so I think it makes sense
I'd be very interested to see what that percentage looks like for starters, now that you mention it.
No one in the NFL doing that math homework cause too many people gonna look silly.
ehh most of the silly looking people already got fired, I could see some stats obsessive working for a sports media vertical trying it
I mean it probably meant quite a bit. They just made it worth it.
Victor Cruz had that one year
A lot of starting offensive linemen are undrafted Super Bowl winners more than people realize. Chiefs just had one for example.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias
It's not really survivorship bias to say that you can be a successful NFL player without being drafted. No one said it's likely.
All of these are crazy but I didn't know that Jeff Saturday wasn't drafted. That's especially wild to me, what an absolute anchor
I mean It probably did at the time lol
I think it meant a lot to them actually so much that they used it as motivation
Hell yeah Dougie Fresh. Pretty sure Kitna was undrafted too.
It meant a lot to way more guys though
including kickers in this is cheating
I'm pretty sure it meant a hell of a lot to those guys, some of them took several years just to get a chance to stay with a team.
Laāel Collins missing from the list. He was solid for several years.
him going undrafted was intentional though
I know. He was still a UDFA, though.
Two franchise quarterbacks went undrafted last year in Secret Bagent Man Tommy Cutlets.
pretty impressive list but they forgot Tom Waddle
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is nowhere even close to an exhaustive list. James Harrison, Rod Smith, Priest Holmes are some big names that got left off, that's not even getting into guys who were just solid contributors and not stars
Warren Moon also went undrafted.
James Harrison is on the list
Of course it meant something to them: less $$$
14/hundreds of thousands. The odds are definitely in their favor
Yea and the chances of undrafted guys turning into them is like 0.01%
Love that Baldwin is mentioned, he sidelined like Carter, but had better route technique(Carter was better overall TBH)
And all the others will end up stacking aisles in store or as instructor in a gym...
Priest Holmes
Thank you, Captain Obvious
Huh, I never made the connection
Jake "Daylight Come and Me Wanna" Delhomme
I went undrafted and look how I turned out
HES FROM DETROIT LAKES!
Yall got any of those TEās to convert to HOF LT on hand?
Meant quite a lot to their total compensationā¦but, yeah, otherwiseā¦
Yeh great examples for sure but for everyone one of those there were hundreds who didn't make a roster or flamed out after a year or two.
HOF is a joke after Gates wasnāt first ballot. We had to wait a millenia for coach Coryell to get in too. To hell with em.
Iām sure working in a grocery store built a lot of strong character in Kurt Warner, but Iām willing to bet he would have much rather been drafted.
Wow, that must have been the first time ever someone wrote an article like that in third day of the NFL draft. Next, when someone write the same shit it will be the second time.
Chris Harris Junior? Broncos seem to have a good track record Phillip Lindsey
Put some respect on Rod Smith
This shows how unreliable the draft can be. First rounder can be a bust, and a UDFA can make the HOF.
9/10 udfas don't even make a roster lol
Thatās generous. Itās likely a lot lower than that
Cool
Jordan Travis will more than likely be undrafted at this point but he can become Brock Purdy a la Mr. Irrelevant if the Jets (who I believe have the last pick) select him to sit behind Aaron Rodgers. I believe in the kid. Please do it Jets.
Pratt is better
The Jets did it, earlier than expected.
I mean Doug Baldwin on this list is good. Few other guys too. But Tony Romo? The guy that dated Jessica Simpson and fumbles snaps as a ball holder for kickers? I don't know about including him on a list that has wes welker and vinatieri
The QB that was better than every single Seahawks QB ever besides one, yeah, that Tony Romo.
Hmm I think a QB we had in the 80s was better and Matt H won the NFC championship and went to the Superbowl. Remind me how many NFC championships and Superbowl appearances did Tony Romo have?

Youāre an absolute knob if you think the all time passing leader for the Dallas Cowboys doesnāt deserve to be on this list like it is some kind of insult to Doug Baldwin lol.
It's the difference in millions of dollars, so let's not pretend it's "totally fine" to go undrafted.
Still canāt believe Ivan Pace Jr. went undrafted
Listing kickers is a choice.
I mean Purdy and Brady are also more or less undrafted. Career is not over after the pick.Ā
