Tracking Kansas football’s undrafted free agents after 2023 NFL Draft
LAWRENCE — Kansas football didn’t see any of its players selected in this year’s NFL draft.
Lonnie Phelps Jr. and Earl Bostick Jr. were two who were thought to be potential late round selections, given the fact they participated in the NFL’s combine and elsewhere during the pre-draft process. But, after the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds had wrapped up Saturday, neither Phelps nor Bostick had been picked. So, they join other teammates of theirs from this past season who’ve turned pro who are looking for undrafted free agent opportunities.
