SB Nation's The Falcoholic has the scoop on the Falcons 2010 undrafted free agents.

There are 15 total. Here's the full list:

TE Leroy Banks (Southern Mississippi)

WR Tim Buckley (Alcorn State)

S  Rafael Bush (South Carolina State)

CB Dominique Daniels (Nicholls State)

S Gabe Derricks (San Diego)

LS Justin Drescher (Colorado)

WR Brandyn Harvey (Villanova)

LB Weston Johnson (Wyoming)

K Garrett Lindholm (Tarleton State)

RB Dimitri Nance (Arizona State)

TE Michael Palmer (Clemson)

TE Colin Peek (Alabama)

WR Emmanuel Stephens (Mississippi)

DE Ryan Wolfe (UNLV)

LB Bear Woods (Troy)

Can you guess which one is a favorite of The Falcoholic?

I think we're all currently trying to wrap our minds around how many Bear Woods jerseys we're planning to buy tomorrow morning. Impressive from his unbelievable name to his redlocks to his satan beard to his facepaint to his name is Bear Woods. We'd call him Captain Jack Sparrow, but his name is BEAR WOODS. If he somehow doesn't make the team, Mike Smith's new nickname is Mike "Bear Woods" Smith.

Thanks to The Falcoholic for the list of Falcons UDFAs.

The Bucs made the headlines in the undrafted free agent process with the addition of QB Jevan Snead. The work doesn't stop there though as SB Nation's Buc 'Em has tracked down more UDFAs. Consider this list unofficial:

Hunter Lawrence, K, Texas
Brandon Gillbeaux, DE, Delaware
Jevan Snead, QB, Ole Miss
Rico McCoy, LB, Tennessee
Sergio Render, OG, Virginia Tech
Ryan Reeves, LB, Wayne State
Preston Parker, WR, North Alabama/Florida St.

Jeron Mastrud, TE, Kansas St.
Jamar Bryant, WR, East Carolina

Buc 'Em writes that a few of these picks are intriguing. Find out why over at Buc 'Em.

Shortly after the 2010 NFL Draft came and went, it was announced that LeGarrette Blount, who had been left sitting at home, undrafted, was signing with the 49ers. Well, apparently he has changed his mind, because the former Oregon Duck is off to Tennessee, where he'll sign with the Titans. 

Blount originally only reached a verbal agreement with San Francisco, and according to Aaron Wilson at National Football Post, decided the Titans were a better fit. 

After talking the decision over with his family and Titans coach Jeff Fisher, Blount decided that his best opportunity lies in Tennessee. [...]

With the Titans no longer having LenDale White on the roster, Blount felt like there was a chance for him to provide a power running presence behind Pro Bowl running back Chris Johnson.

The guys over at Niners Nation are somewhat disappointed, but consoling themselves with Mississippi State RB Anthony Dixon, who San Francisco drafted in the sixth round, and compares physically to Blount.

Meanwhile, our Titans blog, Music City Miracles, is excited about Blount's sudden decision change.

This is a big one! Blount originally signed with the 49ers, but he felt he had more of a shot over in Tennessee, with our limited running backs ... I find this signing surprising considering the Titans have been all about character guys this draft, and Blount has an obvious temper problem, with the punching incident as well as a previous suspension for skipping team meetings. Blount was projected as a 4th to 5th round draft pick before the draft and a 1st to 2nd round pick before the punch, so if he stays out of trouble he's a steal.

Per Windy City Gridiron, our Bears blog, we learn that the Bears are picking up plenty of players, and a couple of them are Chicago natives:

League sources said that wide receiver Freddie Barnes, who caught 155 passes for 1,770 yards and 19 touchdowns last season for Bowling Green, and Indiana linebacker Matt Mayberry will sign free-agent contracts with the Bears.

Both Barnes and Mayberry made pre-draft visits to Halas Hall and were given workouts. Barnes, a Homewood-Flossmoor product, had some of the best hands of any receiver in the draft. Mayberry, a Hinsdale South product, chose the Bears over the Atlanta Falcons.

The list of the Bears' post-draft signings has grown to ten. To keep up, head on over to Windy City Gridiron.

Is this a trend? NFL teams seemed reluctant to spend draft picks on fullbacks, but with the draft over, fullbacks are being scooped up. Louisville FB Joe Tronzo has found a home a 90-minute drive away in Cincinnati. From our Bengals blog, Cincy Jungle:

On his personal Facebook account, fullback Joe Tronzo says that he's signed with the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday night. Listed as the ninth fullback by Scout Inc, Tronzo is primarily a blocking back that plays special teams. On Louisville's team page, it writes that Tronzo is a "fierce competitor and hard worker... one of the toughest and most physical players on the team... has emerged as one of the toughest blockers on the team... not afraid to put his nose into the defenders' chest."

During his Pro Day, Tronzo "ran the 40-yard dash in 4.70 and 4.64 seconds, had a 32-inch vertical jump, a 10-foot broad jump, a 4.21-second short shuttle, a 6.97-second three-cone drill and 32 bench press repetitions at 225 pounds."

Head on over to Cincy Jungle for all things Bengals.

The NFL's undrafted free agent signings continue Sunday, as the Raiders have picked up UCLA fullback Chane Moline. Our Raiders blog, Silver and Black Pride, has more:

Last season he was voted co-MVP of the Bruins, along with Brian Price and Rahim Moore. In one game, against Washington State, he scored 3 touchdowns (On 3 Carries of 2 yards 6 yards and 16 yards) and his 6 Touchdowns on the season led the team.

Moline also has experience on Special Teams and at Half Back (He split time there last season). At 6' - 247, he is quite a load to bring down and he ran a 4.58 40. I love THIS PHOTO

This makes two nice fullback additions which is fantastic seeing that Oren O'Neal can't stay healthy and Luke Lawton is terrible in pass protection.

For more on the Raiders, head on over to Silver and Black Pride.
