CFL drafts

The Canadian Football League (CFL), though a separate league, is the only other major gridiron football league that currently drafts competitively against the NFL. Only players of Canadian citizenship or otherwise 'non-import' status are eligible to be drafted in the CFL's Canadian College Draft. Additionally, since 2019, players who are neither American nor Canadian are eligible for the CFL's smaller, stand-alone global drafts.

UFL drafts

The United Football League (UFL) currently drafts players that went undrafted following NFL drafts.

Below are players who were drafted as by teams in the current UFL or its direct predecessors, in rookie-only drafts.
