D.C. Defenders Select 10 NFL Rookie UDFAs in 2024 UFL College Draft

The D.C. Defenders, under General Manager Von Hutchins, are taking the lottery ticket strategy, acquiring rights to players who may never step onto a UFL Field. Hutchins used all 10 college draft selections on undrafted players signed onto teams after the 2024 NFL Draft.

The kicker is that the Defenders already got a jump on signing undrafted NFL players during the 2024 UFL season. The Defenders have signed four rookies from the 2024 NFL Draft Class. Among them were Cal wide receiver Monroe Young, Stonehill center David Satkowski, North Carolina offensive lineman William Barnes and quarterback Mike DiLiello. Each player spent time in an NFL team rookie minicamp before signing on with D.C.

With its 10 draft picks, D.C. doubled up at quarterback, offensive tackle, defensive line and linebacker. The question is, will any of these players don a Defenders uniform in 2025?
