Green Bay Packers historically maintain roster spots for undrafted rookie free agents

The Green Bay Packers continue a long-standing organizational trend of retaining at least one undrafted free agent on their active roster for week one of the NFL season. This year, J. Michael Sturdivant joins the team, marking the latest addition to a history of players who signed as undrafted free agents. The team consistently utilizes this strategy to cultivate talent outside of the traditional draft process. Notable past players who followed this path include Samkon Gado, Ryan Grant, and Najeh Davenport. Current roster depth at various positions is reinforced by this ongoing commitment to developmental signings. These players are often recognized for their impact on team depth and rotation throughout the season.
