All told, eight former Rebels were selected in the draft, including both quarterback Jaxson Dart and defensive tackle Walter Nolen in the first round.
Plenty of other draft-eligible players went undrafted from Ole Miss, but many of them have landed contracts as undrafted free agents. This is a testament to head coach Lane Kiffin and the job that he and his staff have done in acquiring and developing talented players.

According to the Ole Miss football account, edge rusher Jared Ivey and cornerback Isaiah Hamilton were signed by the Seattle Seahawks in the hours after the NFL Draft. Both will have the chance to compete this offseason as they look to make a roster that is already loaded with defensive talent.
Ivey being undrafted was a bit shocking, as many NFL scouts had as high as a fifth-round grade on him. However, the Seahawks do not have a very deep edge rusher rotation, which will provide ample opportunity for Ivey to carve out a role.
Hamilton was not expected to be drafted, but Seattle's moving so quickly after the draft to add him may indicate how they feel about the young cornerback. It will be a long offseason for these two players as they grind through training camp and other team activities, but they have the opportunity to join several other Rebels in the professional ranks if they can make the initial 53-man roster.
