Which rookie UDFA is most likely to make Packers' 53-man roster?

The Green Bay Packers have a long and storied history of rookie undrafted free agents making the 53-man roster. Following the 2026 NFL draft, the Packers signed 10 more undrafted free agents.

Which UDFA is the most likely to make the 53-man roster?

Our picks from the staff at Packers Wire:

Zach Kruse: G Josh Gesky

My first thought was J. Michael Sturdivant, who has the vertical speed, blocking experience and potential on special teams to make some noise at the bottom of the receiver depth chart this summer. But I'm going with Josh Gesky. The Packers brought him in on a 30 visit and paid him a $200,000 base salary guarantee, signaling their interest in the player. I also believe there's a real opportunity for one of these rookie offensive linemen to make the roster. The depth chart is hardly settled past the top seven, and the Packers will likely keep 10. Gesky doesn't have offensive tackle potential, but he played a lot of quality football at guard in the Big Ten, and he's a terrific athlete at 308 pounds. Finding an undrafted free agent fit is always an exercise is combining ability and opportunity. I think Gesky is pro ready, and the Packers have roster spots open on the interior offensive line.

Brandon Carwile: LB TJ Quinn

After not taking an off-ball linebacker in the 2026 draft, the Packers signed Quinn, a UDFA whom they brought in for a top 30 visit. A tad undersized (6-0, 225 pounds), Quinn had a productive college career totaling 289 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 5.0 sacks, three interceptions, and nine pass breakups. He also flashed some impressive speed at his pro day, running the 40-yard dash in 4.52 seconds. He’ll be competing against Nick Neimann and Kristian Welch, but maybe Quinn can show enough potential and make plays on special teams to secure a spot on the 53.

Mark Oldacres: WR J. Michael Sturdivant

Sturdivant was expected to be drafted by many analysts, and although his college career did not pan out as many expected after a strong freshman season back in 2022, he has been the victim of less than favorable situations around him. The talent to be a Day 3 pick was from this season, and his combination of size and speed could be useful in Matt LaFleur’s offense as back end depth. Sturdivant’s willingness as a blocker and recent uptick in experience on special teams could help him stick as a sixth receiver.
