Packers Sign 15 Undrafted Free Agents
The Packers have become the latest team to bring in a class of undrafted free agents. Green Bay announced that it’s agreed to terms with the following UDFAs:
- Jalen Morton, QB (Prairie View A&M)
- Patrick Taylor, RB (Memphis)
- Jordan Jones, FB (Prairie View A&M)
- Darrell Stewart, WR (Michigan State)
- Travis Bruffy, T (Texas Tech)
- Zack Johnson, G (North Dakota State)
- Willington Previlon, DL (Rutgers)
- Tipa Galeai, LB (Utah State)
- Krys Barnes, LB (UCLA)
- Delontae Scott, LB (SMU)
- Marc-Antoine Dequoy, CB (Montreal)
- Stanford Samuels, CB (Florida State)
- Will Sunderland, CB (Troy)
- Henry Black, S (Baylor)
- Frankie Griffin, S (Texas State)
As you may have heard, the Packers didn’t select a wide receiver at any point during the 2020 draft. Instead, Stewart will represent the only collegiate wideout added to Green Bay’s roster. In his senior season, the 6’2″, 216-pound Stewart posted 49 receptions for 697 yards and two touchdowns. Lance Zierlein of NFL.com praised Stewart’s size and willingness to block, but noted the ex-Spartan’s “catch technique may need to be stripped and rebuilt.”
