2024 Packer UDFA Tracker....

[GreenBaySlacker]

Looks like we dropped the UDFA DT we got, and stole a different UDFA from 2023 from the 49ers.

The guy we got is strong side DE material. I seen 285 and 295. Ran a 4.91. average on his reps and a 32 or 33 " vert. His short yardage drills were high end numbers. Great burst and speed, agility for a guy that size. He was all acc or something , and was surprised to go undrafted....

Anyways. Sounds like a good guy for the rotation.

Good catch. Here a quick write up on him. This is one of those highly athletic prospects that could fight for a Roster spot. He has a few things going for him. SF churns our DL like we do OL. We didn’t draft at DL either and he’s got 1 season on the 49ers PS, which speaks to him being a fringe player there in SF. He did come from the FCS, but was a highly productive player for N Dakota as seen here

Bummer.

That's too bad. PFF just listed him as the player to watch on the Packers undrafted free agents list. Guess there goes that. I felt like it was Donovan Jennings out of South FL to begin with.

Packers UDFA Profile: OL Donovan Jennings

Here is a closer look at Packers’ UDFA offensive lineman Donovan Jennings with what you need to know.

In the same respect, Jennings has to compete with a lot of guys that are veterans and draftees. They added Morgan, Monk and Glover as rookies and then there's the mainstays like Jenkins, Tom, and Myers. He's probably looking at the practice squad. The Packers have had at least one UDFA make the team the last 19 years in row though. It will probably end up being Peter Bowden at long snapper to keep the streak to 20 years.

Bummer.

Yes.

The silver lining was that he decided quickly, and Green Bay can move forward and evaluate other players at his position.

Much longer list of players invited to the tryouts.

One that really stands out to me is 26-year-old quarterback Jacob Eason.
He was drafted in the fourth round by the Colts back in 2020 and has seen action in two NFL regular season games, completing 5 of 10 passes for 84 yards and two interceptions.

Also, the Packers have listed former third-string quarterback Alex McGough as a receiver — which leaves the team with just three quarterbacks on their 90-man roster. Maybe why they are giving Eason a tryout?

Packers rookie tryouts​

• QB Jacob Eason, Washington*
• WR Rory Starkey, Samford
• WR Brian Hightower, California
• WR Julian Hicks, Albany
• WR Dimitri Stanley, Iowa State

• DL Roje Stona, Arkansas/International Player Pathways
• LB Logan Blake, Eastern Kentucky
• LB Chris Russell, Texas A&M

I liked Eason while he was at Georgia

This is the little things that fans never see, because they aren't looking inside the game itself, to individual match ups. For scouts, and the coaching staff, it's endless hours of reviewing game film, and seeing these things that helps determine whether or not a player might be what they're looking for.

When people ask the question as to why they made a decision to draft someone, they have no idea the work that went in to making that decision.

Packers must have decided they don't. Love, Clifford and Pratt are still the only 3 QB's on the roster.
