Tracking Ole Miss football's NFL undrafted free-agent signings: Full UDFA list
Just because some of Ole Miss football's stars weren't selected in the 2022 NFL Draft doesn't mean their pro journeys are over.
Some of the most impactful players from the Rebels' 2021 season, which culminated in 10 wins and a Sugar Bowl berth, will sign undrafted free agent deals following the end of the draft Saturday.
Ole Miss' two most notable players in the draft class were selected on Day 2 of the draft Friday. The Dallas Cowboys picked defensive end Sam Williams in round two and the Carolina Panthers picked quarterback Matt Corral in the third round.
Names to pay attention to as undrafted free agents include wide receivers Braylon Sanders and Dontario Drummond, running back Jerrion Ealy and offensive lineman Ben Brown.
The Clarion Ledger will keep track of which Ole Miss football players sign undrafted free agent deals following the draft. This page will be updated as information becomes available.
Ole Miss football undrafted free agents
Pro Football Focus reporter Doug Kyed reports that running back Jerrion Ealy signed a deal with the Kansas City Chiefs. Ealy signed with Ole Miss as a five-star running back in 2019 and put together three productive seasons with between 700 and 800 rushing yards. He averaged more than 100 all-purpose yards per game all three seasons.
Wide receiver Braylon Sanders signed an undrafted free agent deal with the Miami Dolphins. The deep threat was Matt Corral's best downfield target last season and now joins a Dolphins offense stocked with deep threats Tyreek Hill and Jayl
On3 national reporter Matt Zenitz reports that former Ole Miss receiver Dontario Drummond has signed with the Dallas Cowboys, reuniting with Rebels teammate Sam Williams, who the Cowboys picked in the second round Friday.
Ben Brown, a four-year starter on the offensive line at guard and center, signed a deal with the Cincinnati Bengals per an announcement from Ole Miss football.
The Chicago Bears are adding former Ole Miss cornerback Jaylon Jones per a report from Pro Football Network's Aaron Wilson that was shared on Twitter by Jones. Jones played six years at Ole Miss and had his 2018 season derailed by injury but was one of the Rebels' most reliable cornerbacks in 2021.
Per a report from NFL Draft analyst John Vogel, former Ole Miss defensive end Tariqious Tisdale signed a free-agent deal with the Cincinnati Bengals. Tisdale made eight tackles for loss in four years at Ole Miss but only made eight tackles as a reserve player in 2021.

Re: Tracking Ole Miss football's NFL undrafted free-agent signings
Ealy, Conner, and Corral could have benefited from another year of coaching by Kiffin. Regardless, they now have pro contracts, which was their goal. Now who knows what another year of college ball could have done? It could be injury and no more playing, more money, or just the same money and a lost year of revenue.
