The unofficial “eighth round” of the NFL draft quickly got underway Saturday afternoon after no Nebraska players heard their name called during the seven-round NFL Draft.

That eighth-round, or free agency, is an opportunity for a number of Huskers to play their way onto NFL rosters, as former Huskers like Brent Qvale, Jeremiah Sirles and others have done in recent years.

Here’s a quick rundown of where Nebraska NFL free agents stand on Saturday evening.

Devine Ozigbo will get his shot with the New Orleans Saints. The running back was expected to be picked in the late rounds, but went undrafted on Saturday. Ozigbo, who became Nebraska’s first 1,000-yard rusher since Ameer Abdullah in 2014, will get a chance with a team he met with prior to the NFL Draft.

Stanley Morgan Jr., quickly found a home with the Cincinnati Bengals, where he will reunite with fellow New Orleans native and former Husker Cethan Carter. Morgan will be coached by former Husker quarterback Zac Taylor, who joined the franchise as its head coach after the Super Bowl.

“While some scouts see Morgan as 'just a guy' with average size and athleticism who fails to stand out as a prospect, others may appreciate his professional approach to the position and competitive demeanor," wrote NFL.com's Lance Zierlein. "He’s best judged by the sum of his parts, which takes into account his toughness and durability, as well. He doesn’t open wide catch windows, but his ball skills and ability to haul in contested catches tend to make up for it.”

Husker fans know not to bet against Morgan after he piled up a school-record 2,176 receiving yards at NU.

Outside backer Luke Gifford confirmed he has signed a free agent deal with the Dallas Cowboys. Gifford weighed in at 243 pounds during Pro Day and posted some good numbers and had the interest of various NFL clubs who see him with the versatility to fit in either a 3-4 scheme or 4-3.

"All you need is an opportunity, really," Gifford said last month. "It doesn't matter if you get drafted in the late rounds or you're a free agent, you still get the same opportunity. There's a lot of guys who get drafted that get cut and a lot of guys that make it that are free agents. Once you get there, it's really not a big deal how you do it. It's really just kind of getting your foot in the door."

Inside linebacker Dedrick Young signed with the Cleveland Browns. Young ran a 4.51 in the 40 at Nebraska's Pro Day, and finished his Husker career among the Top 10 tacklers in program history.

Offensive lineman Tanner Farmer announced he will attend a minicamp with the Indianapolis Colts next week, followed by a minicamp with the Houston Texans the following week.

According to multiple reports, safety Aaron Williams will be headed to the Arizona Cardinals. Williams was a multi-year starter at safety.

Offensive guard Jerald Foster is headed to the New York Giants on a minicamp invite.
