    The most interesting story among the undrafted free agents is British discus record-holder Lawrence Okoye, now a member of the San Francisco 49ers.

    The 2012 Olympian was the star of the NFL Super Regional Combine early this month, posting a 10-foot-5 broad jump, a 35-inch vertical jump and a 4.78 40-yard dash at 6-foot-6 and 304 pounds.

    Although Okoye never has played football before, he's already made an impression on 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh. "Inadequate -- that was my first impression standing next to him," Harbaugh said Saturday via the Sacramento Bee. "An Adonis, a great physical specimen of a man. ... Our creator created a beautiful man."

    The question is whether Harbaugh loses Okoye on waivers this summer while trying to squeeze a dozen rookies onto a stacked roster.

    He's going to have to show some serious potential to get on the 53 man

    If he doesn't, he's gone...there's no way he's clearing waivers for the PS.
