Keeping rookie long snapper Jack Coco on the first 53-man roster of the 2022 season extended the Green Bay Packers’ impressive streak of keeping at least one undrafted rookie on the roster to start the year.
Coco is an undrafted free agent out of Georgia Tech. He beat out incumbent Steven Wirtel to be the team’s long snapper on the first 53-man roster.
As noted by Wed Hodkiewicz of Packers.com, the team’s streak of keeping an undrafted free agent is now at 18 years:
The practice began under former Packers general manager Ted Thompson, who often kept several undrafted rookies on the roster each season.
