Packers streak of an undrafted free agent on the roster appears to have reached 21 years

The streak just turned 21.

With the reports that Nazir Stackhouse has made the Green Bay Packers' 53-man roster, it appears the franchise will extend its streak to 21 seasons of placing at least one undrafted free agent on the active roster.

The streak dates to 2005, the dawn of the Ted Thompson era. The quirk became one of the general manager's trademarks, finding talent in unusual places.
