3 Packers Undrafted Free Agents Who Can Make the 53-Man Roster
Who doesn't love a good underdog story? The Green Bay Packers have added a number of undrafted free agents to the roster after a really strong 2024 NFL Draft class. Are any of these UDFAs going to be able to crack one of the best rosters in the NFL?
There's always room for a feel-good story, and if a guy comes into the offseason program and lights it up, the Packers will have no choice but to keep them around. Let's take a look at some of the big names among the Packers' undrafted rookie class in 2024 and whether or not any of them have a shot at making this roster.
Who did the Packers steal after the 2024 NFL Draft?

Jennings received a $100,000 guarantee from the Packers, which isn't an absurd figure by any means, but it is a good indicator that he's part of their plans in 2024 as a practice squad player at the very least.
South Florida offensive lineman Donovan Jennings has agreed to terms with #Packers for a 10k signing bonus and 100k in guaranteed salary per source. The signing bonus is more than they gave any UDFAs in 2023, and they did not give any guaranteed salary to UDFAs in 2023. A strong…

It's very possible that the Packers had a draftable grade on Jennings, which could make him one of the most likely undrafted players to ultimately crack the roster. Green Bay has done a little bit of reshuffling on the offensive line this offseason, cutting longtime left tackle David Bakhtiari and letting Jon Runyan Jr. leave in free agency. They are keeping the cupboard stocked with young talent and Jennings is a nice developmental swing option.
