Some history
Kurt Warner, QB, Rams/Cardinals. After going undrafted and before the shelf-stocking job and Arena football gig, Warner added to his narrative by being cut from the Packers in 1994 after training camp as a rookie.
Jim Plunkett, QB, Raiders. He was hardly unappreciated coming out of college (he won the Heisman and was the No. 1 overall pick), but he had flopped in New England and San Francisco and was released by the 49ers in 1978. Two years later, he came off the Raiders bench to lead them to the first of his two Super Bowl wins.
Wes Welker, WR, Patriots/Broncos. The undrafted Welker made the 2004 Chargers regular-season roster but was cut after Week 1 to make room for another player. He went to Miami for the next three seasons, then was picked up as a free agent by New England. You know the rest.
James Harrison, LB, Steelers. He was undrafted out of college and was cut a total of four times in two seasons by two teams, the Steelers and Ravens, before finally sticking with Pittsburgh in 2004. Four years later, he was the NFL defensive player of the year and had the legendary 100-yard end-of-half pick-six in the Steelers' Super Bowl win over the Cardinals.
