10. Scott Wells (2004-11)

The Green Bay Packers selected Tennessee center Scott Wells near the end of the 2004 NFL Draft, taking him in the seventh round, and he was among the team’s final cuts in the preseason that year.

Signed to the practice squad, Wells was promoted to the active roster in October 2004 and never went back.

He started 10 games at left guard in 2005 and took over as the starting center the following season, earning a Pro Bowl bid in 2011, when he was ranked fourth-best among NFL centers by Pro Football Focus (subscription required).

Wells played in 111 games for the Packers, starting 100, before signing with the St. Louis Rams as an unrestricted free agent in March 2012.

Wells was released by the Rams in March and remains unsigned for the 2015 season.
