Over the last several days, multiple former Green Bay Packers players have found new homes in the NFL. Eric Stokes, their first round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. Josh Myers, their second round pick in that same draft, signed with the New York Jets.
Other former Packers players who have not played for Green Bay in a while have also found new landing spots in the league. Lucas Patrick signed with the Cincinnati Bengals and Royce Newman has joined the Arizona Cardinals.
What has been overlooked by many, though, is the high number of former Packers players that have found new jobs in the sport as well, just not in the NFL.
19 Former Green Bay Packers Players Have Made UFL Rosters
The United Football League (UFL) is a professional league that saw the XFL and USFL merge to form a singular football league that is considered a kind of minor league system for the NFL. Many players from the UFL have played in the NFL, and some get signed onto NFL rosters. Indeed, the Packers have had several players from the USFL/XFL on their roster in some capacity in the past.
As the 2025 UFL season draws closer, the eight teams have formalized their rosters, and seven of them have former Packers.
