BREAKING: Packers bring in 11 UDFA’s set to join Green Bay’s robust 2022 Draft Class

UDFA. Short for undrafted free agent. The players that are essentially the final jump scare to the horror movie that is the NFL Draft (judging by Mel Kiper’s hairline, I am guessing it is a vampire movie). And like most horror movie protagonists, chances of survival for this group is slim. But, I would caution against taking UDFA’s lightly. Where would the Packers be right now without Robert Tonyan, Allen Lazard, and Yosh Nijman, all former undrafted free agents who have left their mark on the team over the last several seasons. You cannot tell the story of the Green Bay Packers without naming legends like Willie Wood, Johnnie Gray, Tramon Williams, or current team president Mark Murphy–all undrafted prospects themselves.
