Assessing the Redskins 2018 undrafted free agent class
Tight Ends
Hudson is a talented tight end and could produce some buzz in the NFL for the next few years, but will struggle to make the roster in his first season. The former North Carolina Tar Heel transferred to the University of Richmond and became an all-conference performer working with fourth-round pick, QB Kyle Lauletta. The potential is there.
His Chances: Hudson is a prime candidate to be on the practice squad and could be called up to the roster if any injuries occur to any of the tight ends.
He has good size for a tight end, but this signing was surprising considering his lack of production in college. Flanagan was strictly a blocker and it would be understandable if he was signed as a potential offensive lineman.
His Chances: It is difficult to see Flanagan with any kind of role on the Redskins roster or the practice squad.
These fifteen UDFAs have dreams of playing in the NFL for many seasons, but most of them will see careers that are far shorter. The efforts they put forth are admirable, but none of them are failures. You are only a failure if you don’t try and give it your all. Dreams will come to an end for most of these athletes in the next few weeks and they will move on in life. A few will make the most of it and we look forward to covering their careers.
