The true underdog story has always held a strong grip on sports fans. Whether it is the story of an underdog team or individual, witnessing a person or team rise among the ranks to stardom always captivates viewers and fans alike. For the fans of the Green Bay Packers, these stories are no different. Undrafted free agents, castaways from other teams and long shot seventh-round draft picks making the team always hold a special place in the heart of Packers fans.
Without looking too far back in the annals of Packers history, names like Ed West, John Jurkovich, John Kuhn and Tramon Williams come to mind when thinking about the long shots to making a team and later finding great success in their careers wearing the green and gold.
