Don't know if anyone cares, but thought I'd post anyway. I made my own list of rookie free-agents using the public information provided on the Hawkeye sports site. I took the "All-Time_NFL_Draft" list and input that into a database table. Then I took the "All-Time_NFL_Players" list and put that into a second database table. I then ran a query to tell me the differences between the two tables. The list below should mainly be those Hawks that didn't get drafted but found their way on to an NFL roster at some point...even if for a short period of time. I make no claims that this is an "accurate" list....It is only what I came up with for my own purposes so thought I would share.
Here are the players I believe made it on to NFL rosters as free-agent rookies (again, this was put together quickly so I make no claims that it is an accurate or complete list).
