Mississippi State undrafted free agents tracker: Bulldogs who signed after 2024 NFL Draft
The 2024 NFL Draft is over, concluding a memorable three-day event in Detroit, Michigan.
Over the course of the seven rounds, Mississippi State football had three former players hear their name called. That includes cornerback Decamerion Richardson, defensive lineman Jaden Crumedy and linebacker Nataniel Watson.
Richardson was selected by the Las Vegas Raiders in the fourth round, while the Carolina Panthers took Crumedy in the sixth round and the Cleveland Browns drafted Watson in the sixth round.
However, just because the draft is over doesn't mean MSU products are done taking the next step toward the NFL. Players can sign as undrafted free agents.
Several NFL greats have built their careers off UDFA deals, including wide receiver Wes Welker, tight end Antonio Gates and quarterback Kurt Warner.
Here's a look at which Mississippi State players are signing as undrafted free agents and who they're signing with:
