  • Undrafted Underclassmen Have a Hard Road to Make It in the NFL by Ray Fittipaldo, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on 05.16.16 Word Count 877
    Undrafted underclassmen have a hard road to make it in the NFL By Ray Fittipaldo, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on 05.16.16 Word Count 877 New York Giants tight end Xavier Grimble during a NFL football camp in East Rutherford, New Jersey, July 24, 2014. Photo: AP/Seth Wenig Xavier Grimble has second-guessed himself a few times over the past two years. Had he exhibited a little more patience, he might have some security in a profession that has little. Had he listened to the NFL draft advisory board and not some influential people in his inner circle, he might have a nice signing bonus in the bank and almost certainly have NFL draft pick next to his name. Instead, Grimble is a cautionary tale of an underclassman who gambled with his NFL future and lost. Two years after leaving college early, Grimble has an uphill climb to make his dream of becoming a pro football player come true. Grimble left Southern California after his junior season to declare for the 2014 NFL draft. All 32 teams passed on him — seven times. He is now with the Steelers, his fourth team in 24 months, and it’s just about make-or-break time. “Of course I’ve had second thoughts,” said Grimble, a tight end and one of a handful of veterans who were eligible to participate in rookie minicamp this past weekend. “Looking back on it, I played half of my last season hurt. There was no rush for me to come out. When you get here there is a lot to learn.
