When did this happen?
I would like to have UDFAs and draftees and other street FAs beat out established starters as that makes the team even better. Good luck kid.Even though it appears that standout linebacker Clay Matthews will make his way back to inside linebacker for this coming season, there are still a lot of questions at the other inside linebacker position.

This is the time of the year when 32 teams are hopeful that they've found a hidden gem in their undrafted free agent class. Most will not, but Green Bay has a better track record than most.
A piece written by the guy who said TT wouldn't draft a CB in the 1st.
Aside of Sam Shields the Packers haven't found any true gems in undrafted free agents over Thompson's tenure.

Depends on your definition of "gem", I suppose. Players such as Jayrone Elliott, Geronimo Allison, and Lane Taylor have all been solid contributors to Packers, and there have been others.
What is your point?
They do. They have the 5th most UDFAs pn their roster and have gotten the 5th most starts with 136. When you consider the teams ahead of the Packers are Rams, Chargers, and texans are much less talented and therefore more likely to have UDFAs contribute. Other team is Seahawks, a protege of TT.My point is that Curly posted that the Packers have had a better track recird than most teams in undrafted free agency which isn't true though.
Typical article for this time of year. I am betting every UDFA the Packers sign, they hope is a gem. Bet when and if this guy is cut, some poster will remember this article and post their surprise because, "the Packers were high on him"

Here is the "Silver and Black" article that was mentioned

When Willie Wood, a player who is in the NFL HOF, is not even mentioned in articles of this type, the often youthful writers (of best ever lists) thought process for establishing such a list is highly suspect to me. Some writers and fans insist that championships don't count unless they're from the Super Bowl era. Willie played in the SB and not only made a key interception to help ice the game but he also held the SB record for longest punt return - a record that stood for 17 years.
Thanks for the info.Willie was named as #6 in the 3rd article I posted above.

Kurt Warner seems to be at the top of most lists.
