The Green Bay Packers have a long track record of giving undrafted players a real chance to make the 53-man roster. The team has a current streak of 19 seasons with at least one undrafted rookie making the regular season team.

This year, the task will be harder, though. The Packers finished up the draft with 85 players on the 90-man roster, leaving just five spots for undrafted players unless corresponding moves are made.
