Undrafted free agents 2014: Indianapolis Colts sign Loucheiz Purifoy
As is the case every year, once the draft comes to an end, there are many players still looking for a home. Usually, those undrafted players quickly sign with a team and get ready to go to work. Often times it is better for a player to go undrafted instead of getting picked in the final round. Players can assess their situation and see if a team has a need at their position or has shown a lot of interest in them. In some cases, players simply choose to stay closer to home.
Former Florida Gators’ cornerback Loucheiz Purifoy once touted as a fantastic NFL prospect because of his size (6’1) and speed, but had a sub-par season and saw his stock plummet.
Purifoy wound up going undrafted this weekend. He reportedly agreed to a deal with the Denver Broncos, but instead will join the Indianapolis Colts.
Purifoy made 24 tackles, had two sacks and picked off two passes for the Gators in 2013.
