4 former Louisville Cardinals are NFL free agent picks

The University of Louisville, which had four players go in the first three rounds of the NFL draft, is also sending four more as undrafted free agents.

The Chicago Bears have added tackle Brandon Dunn, one of the defensive leaders for the Cardinals last season, as an undrafted rookie free agent, the team said Sunday.

Dunn, a 6-foot-3, 300-pounder out of Pleasure Ridge Park, finished his senior season with 43 tackles (25 solo). He was one of nine free agents signed by the Bears and will be invited to the team's training camp this summer.

Three other Cardinals also were signed after the draft ended Saturday. Dunn's fellow defensive tackle, Roy Philon, was added by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Philon, a 6-3, 290-pound player from Lexington, finished the season with 41 tackles (28 solo) and four sacks.

One of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater's targets, wide receiver Damian Copeland, was added by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Copeland, 6-1, 182, finished with 58 catches for 780 yards (13.4 yards average), scoring five touchdowns.

Safety Hakeem Smith is going to the Tennessee Titans. At 6-2, 179 pounds, Smith, from Georgia, had three interceptions last season.

U of L's Teddy Bridgewater, Calvin Pryor and Marcus Smith were taken in the first round, and Preston Brown was taken in the third round.

A number of other undrafted Kentuckiana players were signed by NFL teams, including:

• Baltimore: Xavius Boyd, LB, Western Kentucky.

• Denver: Mister Cobble, DT, Kentucky.

• Jacksonville: Terrance Cobb, RB, Cumberlands.

• Kansas City: Shawn Shupperd, DL, Eastern Kentucky.

• New England: Stephen Houston, RB, Indiana.

• St. Louis: Kadeem Jones, FB, Western Kentucky.

• Tennessee: Antonio Andrews, RB, Western Kentucky.

The Indianapolis Colts said Sunday that they've signed 19 undrafted free agents, including former Ohio State offensive lineman Marcus Hall.

The Colts also added Erik Swoope as a tight end. Swoope, 6-5, 220, was a four-year standout on the University of Miami basketball team who has not played organized football at any level of his athletic career.
