Best Answer

An 'undrafted free agent' is a player, usually fresh out of college, that was not selected in the NFL draft held every April. This player does not have his rights held by any team, therefore, he is a free agent and free to negotiate with all teams.

Does a player have to enter the NFL draft?

Yes. When a player is drafted during the NFL draft the team that drafted them owns the signing rights. So, if the player refuses to play they will have to wait a year and then get signed as a free agent. If that team doesn't do anything with the signing rights to the player they will not play in the NFL that year. If a player is not drafted they become an 'undrafted free agent' and are immediately available to be picked up by any team.
