The Green Bay Packers aren’t huge spenders in undrafted free agency (yes, guaranteed money is a major factor for signing top players), but they do pick their spots at times. Whatever they’re doing is right, though, as the team has had an undrafted rookie make the team for 21 consecutive years. Who will it be in 2026? Before any predictions, let’s go through the team’s remaining pre-draft visitors, their reported signings and the top prospects left on the market.
Packers Visitors Still Available 2026
- QB Kyron Drones, Virginia Tech — signed with Packers
- RB Damon Bankston, New Mexico — signed with Giants
- iOL Josh Gesky, Illinois — signed with Packers
- ED Michael Heldman, Central Michigan — signed with Saints
- ED Nyjalik Kelly, UCF
- LB T.J. Quinn, Louisville — signed with Packers
- CB Malcolm DeWalt, Akron — signed with Falcons
- CB D’Arco Perkins-McAllister, Louisiana-Monroe — signed with Chiefs
- S Jacob Thomas, James Madison — signed with Vikings
- S Juwon Gaston, Middle Tennessee
Here’s a full recap of all of the Packers’ visitors (29 of 30 were reported pre-draft), which included a bunch of projected UDFA-type players who wound up being drafted in the sixth and seventh rounds of the draft. Obviously, you’d think that visiting players would be high-priority signings for Green Bay post-draft.
Packers Undrafted Free Agent Signings 2026
QB Kyron Dones, Virginia Tech (pre-draft visitor)
After two years as a backup at Baylor, Kyron Drones, originally from Texas, transferred to Virginia Tech and developed into a three-year starter. There, he posted a 14-18 record and threw for 5,785 yards and 45 touchdowns to go along with 1,847 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns on the ground. His time with the Hokies overlapped with Packers linebackers coach Sam Siefkes, who was Tech’s defensive coordinator in 2025 after previously coaching linebackers under Jonathan Gannon.
RB Jaden Nixon, UCF
The Packers signed Jaden Nixon of UCF, who is a little different than the rest of the backs that Green Bay has. Nixon hovers around 200 pounds, unlike the 220-pounders that the roster otherwise carries. Nixon is a fifth-year player who made stops at three schools, starting at Oklahoma State. After three years as a backup there, he played at Western Michigan, where he posted his best year in college football, recording 919 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. Last season, he transferred to UCF, where he split the backfield with Myles Montgomery (who has signed with the New England Patriots). Nixon has returned 68 kicks for 1,547 yards and two touchdowns in college, but he’s only caught two punts (for just two yards).
TE RJ Maryland, SMU
After the draft, general manager Brian Gutekunst admitted that the one position he hoped the team would have hit, but didn’t, was a true Y tight end. The Packers ended up nabbing RJ Maryland, who was graded as a borderline seventh-round pick by The Athletic’s Dane Brugler, in undrafted free agency. Maryland doesn’t fit the mold of a true Y, though, as he’s just 236 pounds and comes from an Air Raid offense. It’ll be interesting to see how he fits in with the team’s plans moving forward. He is the son of Russell Maryland, the former first overall NFL draft choice.
iOL Josh Gesky, Illinois (pre-draft visitor)
The Athletic’s Dane Brugler, despite Josh Gesky being unranked on the consensus board, actually gave Gesky a seventh-round grade in his “The Beast.” Instead of going to an Ivy League school, Gesky chose to play locally in Illinois and gained 70 pounds (and then dropped 20) in college. A non-combine invite, Gesky didn’t put up great agility numbers at his pro day, but he did well otherwise. Gesky was a three-year starter at guard for former Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema. All but two of his starts came at left guard in his college career. He was three times an honorable mention All-Big Ten guard.
iOL Dylan Barrett, Iowa State
It should be no surprise that the Packers are adding guys hovering around 320 pounds on the offensive line. This is just who they are now. Dylan Barrett began his college career at Wisconsin, where he spent the 2020 through 2023 seasons. After being a backup there, he transferred to Iowa State, where he overlapped with current Green Bay receivers coach Noah Pauley. He was an off-and-on starter for the Cyclones, earning 16 starts over two years, 14 at left guard.
LB T.J. Quinn, Louisville (pre-draft visitor)
T.J. Quinn is an undersized linebacker at just 225 pounds and coming in just over 6’0”, but he ran an elite 4.52-second 40-yard dash at his pro day after not being invited to the combine. He was a three-year starter with Louisville, where he spent his entire college career, and was named an All-ACC player in 2025. In college, he racked up 289 combined tackles, including 15 tackles for losses. He also made three interceptions and seven pass breakups.
S Murvin Kenion, Nevada
This is such a deep cut that Murvin Kenion isn’t one of the 2,709 players featured in “The Beast.” Kenion played one year of FBS ball, bringing in five interceptions at Nevada, after playing at Sacramento State (2024), Idaho (2023 and 2022) and the City College of San Francisco (2021).
