Top 10 undrafted NFL players

theScore's NFL Top 10 is a two-week series in which editors take a look at football's best, worst, and most interesting players, highlighting everything from the overpaid to the most versatile and marketable.

As many players have proven in the past, you don't have to be selected in the NFL draft to carve out a pro career. Some of the league's top players were overlooked in all seven rounds yet emerged as All-Pro talents.

Here are the NFL's top 10 current undrafted players:

10. Andrew Norwell, OG, Jaguars

Career highlights: 2017 First-team All-Pro

With so many talented defensive tackles across the NFL, teams will regret not drafting Norwell in 2014. Just 26 years old, the former Carolina Panthers guard shuts down opposing linemen with ease and consistently opens lanes for his teammates. Now a member of the Jaguars, Norwell will solidify an already strong running game led by Leonard Fournette.

9. Justin Tucker, K, Ravens

Career highlights: 2-time Pro-Bowler, 2-time First-team All-Pro, Super Bowl XLVII champion

We'd understand your objection to a kicker being on this list, but Tucker isn't ordinary. After signing with the Ravens in 2012, Tucker has established himself as the league's best kicker and has set several records, with a proficiency from 50 yards out. Tucker is the most accurate kicker in NFL history, converting 90.1 percent of his field goals and gives the Ravens a long-range weapon even when their passing game isn't clicking.

8. Damon Harrison, DT, Giants

Career highlights: 2016 First-team All-Pro

Harrison is the league's best run defender, and it's probably not close. Undrafted out of William Penn in 2012, the New York Jets took a flier on the mammoth defensive tackle. Harrison, of course, now dominates opposing linemen for the Giants. No other player has as many tackles at or behind the line of scrimmage over the last five seasons. You'd think NFL offenses would have learned by now.

7. Cameron Wake, DE, Dolphins

Career highlights: 5-time Pro-Bowler, 2012 First-team All-Pro

Wake's career path is slightly different than most players on our list. After being passed over in the 2005 NFL Draft, Wake briefly signed with the Giants, was released months later, then starred in the CFL. Wake became highly sought-after conquering Canada for two seasons, and the Dolphins attained his services. He hasn't looked back since and should cross the 100-sack mark for his NFL career in 2018, serving as a nearly unstoppable force at 36.

6. Michael Bennett, DE, Eagles

Career highlights: 3-time Pro-Bowler, Super Bowl XLVIII champion

Bennett was overlooked in the 2009 NFL Draft but has developed into a productive and versatile defensive lineman. The former Seattle Seahawk has accumulated at least eight sacks in four of his last six seasons, dominating from the edge and interior defensive line. Bennett doubles as an excellent run defender, seemingly never having to leave the field.

5. Adam Thielen, WR, Vikings

Career highlights: 2017 Pro-Bowler, Second-team All-Pro

After a breakout 2016 campaign, Thielen exploded in 2017, catching 91 passes for 1,276 yards and four touchdowns, spearheading the Vikings' passing game. Thielen is an exceptional route-runner and rarely drops the ball, providing his quarterbacks with a measure of consistency every game. Thielen has shown marked improvement through four seasons and there'll be little surprise if he's higher on this list next summer.

4. Doug Baldwin, WR, Seahawks

Career highlights: 2-time Pro-Bowler, Super Bowl XLVIII champion

Baldwin is one of the league's shiftiest slot receivers, and his technical prowess has led to a number of productive campaigns. He signed with Seattle after the 2011 draft, and never looked back. Dominating across the route tree, specifically on underneath routes, has led to 29 touchdown receptions over the last three years (second most during this span) despite his 5-foot-10 stature.

3. Chris Harris Jr., CB, Broncos

Career highlights: 3-time Pro-Bowler, 2016 First-team All-Pro, Super Bowl 50 champion

Harris broke onto the scene immediately and steadily ascended through the Broncos' depth chart through his first three seasons. By the time he became a starter in 2014, Harris had emerged as one of the NFL's best cornerbacks. Harris seldom has gaudy interception numbers but few players, if any, are capable of completely erasing an elite wide receiver for the duration of a game. Teams missed on Harris because he was undersized and have rued their decision for years.

2. Jason Peters, OT, Eagles

Career highlights: 9-time Pro-Bowler, 2-time First-team All-Pro, Super Bowl LII champion

Peters' story is an incredible one and played a major factor in his placement on our list. Recruited to Arkansas as a defensive tackle, Peters played tight end before going undrafted in 2004 as an offensive lineman. Fourteen years and countless accolades later, the veteran is still a top-tier offensive tackle and could be on his way to the Hall of Fame after he retires.

1. A.J. Bouye, CB, Jaguars

Career highlights: 2017 Pro-Bowler, Second-team All-Pro

Bouye has quickly developed into one of the NFL's premier cornerbacks and there's no end in sight to his ascent. Forming arguably the most dangerous corner duo in the league alongside teammate Jalen Ramsey, Bouye can neutralize premier wide receivers and make it look easy, using outstanding technique and ball-recognition skills. He recorded six interceptions last year and sent a message to the league: throw his way at your own peril.
