Packers Snag Top UDFA Talent

0:00On April 28th, Packers fans, the team hasn't dropped the official word yet on undrafted free agents after the 2026 NFL draft, but reports, show they scooped up a killer class of rookies. NFL.com's Chad Reuter ranked five of their signings in his top undrafted list, quarterback Kyron Drones at number 16 among QBs, wide receiver. J. Michael Stertivan as the fourth best WR, tied in R.J. Marilyn Knife, at his spot, interior offensive lineman Josh Gueskay, seventh among I.O.L.'s and, edge rusher, Nigelie Kelly, 13th on the edge. A few of these guys like Drones, Gueskay and Kelly, already swung by Green Bay for pre-draft visits, which gave the Packers a head start. They didn't grab a wide out in the draft, but Stertivan was draftable, ranked 2-21st overall by Dane Brugler of the Athletic, and Gueskay made his top 300 at 284th. The buzz is real because the Packers lost receivers, Romeo Dows and Don Tavion Wix, opening doors for these newbies.

1:02All five have legit shots at the roster or practice squad, filling needs at quarterback depth, wide out speed, tight-in athleticism, guard strength, and edge rush pop. Drones brings elite wheels and arm talent like a young Malik Willis, perfect for practice squad grooming toward next year. Stertivan, a former freshman yardage king, could flash on special teams. Marilyn's speed screams move tight-end. Gueskay's Big Ten reps and testing screams start a potential, and young Kelly's disruptions fit right in. Keep eyes on training camp this summer. These undrafted gyms could turn heads and bolster the squad for a deep run. This has been NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
