Yes. When a player is drafted during the NFL draft the team that drafted them owns the signing rights. So, if the player refuses to play they will have to wait a year and then get signed as a free agent. If that team doesn't do anything with the signing rights to the player they will not play in the NFL that year. If a player is not drafted they become an 'undrafted free agent' and are immediately available to be picked up by any team.
You can go to the NFL by being drafted from college, or being signed as a free agent.
An 'undrafted free agent' is a player, usually fresh out of college, that was not selected in the NFL draft held every April. This player does not have his rights held by any team, therefore, he is a free agent and free to negotiate with all teams.
You become a free agent. Lots of rookie free agents get picked up every year, if you do get picked up in free agency, you will likely get to play in the preseason games.
