What about Suisham?
He had some notable misses last season.
Is anybody offering him a job?

He has a good shot. Curtis Painter has been god awful. He threw three interceptions in today's scrimmage, all to former UB saftey Mike Newton, who increased his chance to make the team. Newton directly improved his odds to make the team, and indirectly helped Hiller.

Lots of others for Toledo too, like WR Lance Moore (Saints), RB Chester Taylor (Bears). Nick Moore is paying somewhere too, and RB Jalen Parmele is with the Ravens I believe. Not sure if there are any other Rocket players in the NFL.
Greco and Kazur for the Rams and Pats respectively I believe.
Patrick Body & Brett Kern & Stephen Williams are all UT guys on NFL rosters too from what I can remember. Is Todd France through kicking? He always had a hard time sticking around a team.
So, I guess there are a few.
I think Body is done, no?

France retired from football. He last played for the Philadelphia Soul of the AFL a few years ago.
Is Herndon still around? Last I knew he was with the Seahawks. Remember that INT in the Super Bowl a few years ago?
I just saw an article that said Stephen Williams has a good shot of making the team right away this year. Not sure if Body is still playing. He was with the Bengals.

QB Drew Willy is with the Colts. He's competing with a few guys for one of the backup positions behind Manning.
RB James Starks was drafted by the Green Bay Packers and will compete for time backing up Ryan Grant and will probably get some third down time after he comes back from a thigh injury.
WR Naaman Roosevelt is with the Buffalo Bills and playing well in training camp, he has an outside shot at making the active roster.
G/C Jamey Richard is 2nd string on the Colts backing up Jeff Saturday. He gets rotated in at guard quite often.
LB/DE Trevor Scott is with Oakland and competing for a starting job. He has 12 sacks in two years.
S Mike Newton is with the Colts trying to make the team as a defensive back.
Starks, Richard, and Scott will definitely make the active roster for their teams. Roosevelt has a decent shot considering the state of Buffalo's WR corps. Hard to say how Newton and Willy will fare.
Willy was cut by Indy, Newton is supposedly really kicking @55 in camp
Roosevelt is looking good but there are so many your receivers in camp for the Bills that is a crap shoot

Axeme,
Can you name me that school that had 3 pro bowlers last season (tied for 2nd in the nation)?
The one with all 3 being undrafted free agents and all 3 being among the top 1 or 2 at their positions?

Suisham is with the Rams.
Freddie Barnes is with the Bears.
Scott Mruzcowski(sp?) is with the Chargers.
Kory Lichtensteiger is with the Redskins.
Diyral Briggs is with the 49ers. He seems to be doing very well.
I don't know if Tyler Sheehan was picked up by anyone after leaving Houston.

Finally. An answer about Suisham.
Briggs was an absolute stud at BGSU. Should have a career in the NFL.

Steve Williams makes Cards as UFA as does Barry Church, except he made the Cowboys and was briefly listed as a starter on the depth chart.

I believe that was a total brain cramp by a Chicago Paper. The Vikings signed a WR named Freddie Brown.
