The Green Bay Packers have been forced to move on from a number of players over the last few seasons. Many of whom played an key role in the success the team saw in the 2010s. However, one player who just signed on with the Packers this season has already found a new home.
Former Green Bay Packers Lineman Signs With New Team
According to USA Today’s Zach Kruse:
Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Donovan Jennings, an undrafted free agent signing in the 2024 draft class, was drafted by the San Antonio Brahmas of the UFL on Wednesday.
The Brahmas used the seventh pick in the third round of the 10-round 2024 UFL College Draft on Jennings.
The draft pool available to the UFL teams included only undrafted free agent players from the 2024 draft class.
Jennings (6-4, 323) made 45 career starts at USF. He set the new school record with 55 career appearances. While mostly a left tackle at USF, Jennings is listed as both a tackle and guard by the Packers.
Jennings signed with the Packers on April 30. He will have a chance to make a surprise run at a roster spot or stick on the practice squad during training camp.
Jennings and the rest of the Packers rookies are reporting to training camp on Wednesday. The first practice is Monday, July 22.
None of the other undrafted free agents signed by the Packers in 2024 were selected in the UFL draft.
The Packers will continue to hold Jennings’ player rights until they are surrendered.
It will be fun to follow Jennings in this next phase of his career. We have seen multiple players from the UFL fight their way back into the NFL.
The Packers will be looking to have as much competition and depth along their offensive line all season long. If Jennings starts turning heads, don’t be surprised if the Packers come knocking.
