The Green Bay Packers have had at least one undrafted rookie make the opening 53-man roster for 19 consecutive years. Who will extend that streak to 20?
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers have had at least one undrafted rookie earn a spot on the 53-man roster for 19 consecutive years. Last year, it was Brenton Cox, Emanuel Wilson and Malik Heath.
Jennings started 45 games for USF, with 43 at left tackle. After missing most of 2022 following a broken ankle, Jennings allowed only two sacks in 10 starts in 2023. He had five offensive coordinators in six seasons, so he should be well-versed in learning a playbook. At 6-foot-4 1/8 and 323 pounds with 33-inch arms,Bowden was Badgers’ full-time snapper for his final three seasons. Whether it’s the Doak Walker Award or Outland Trophy, every position group in college has an award.
Signed last offseason, Matt Orzech was OK as the Packers’ snapper in his debut season, but he had a few wayward snaps that were saved by Daniel Whelan. There is a legit opening for Bowden.Ester has the tangibles and intangibles to push for a spot at a position the Packers did not address in the draft. At NIU, he started 43 games. In 2023, he was a second-team all-conference choice and team MVP after recording career highs of 49 tackles, four sacks and 6.5 TFLs.
At 6-foot-1 and 311 pounds, his RAS was only 2.81. But the Packers didn’t invest in their defensive line in the draft.Howard opened his career at Syracuse before transferring to Alcorn State for his final two seasons. In 2022, he was the SWAC Newcomer of the Year, when rushed for a career-high 1,273 yards. In 2023, he rushed for 764 yards but set a career high with 31 receptions.
