FRISCO - The start to a successful NFL career can begin in many different ways. For some, they sit through the whole draft without ever hearing their name called. That was the case for Tony Romo, who signed with the Dallas Cowboys after going undrafted in 2003.
Many teams had the chance to sign Romo in undrafted free agency but ultimately passed up on the chance.
Former VP of the Packers Andrew Brandt recently shared some of his top NFL Draft stories. Among them was his undrafted free-agent story when one of the team s scouts identified Tony Romo but was ignored when he brought him up.

While the actual players drafted generated the annual interest the event does, the Aaron Rodgers drama took over Thursday’s NFL headlines. It became known the reigning MVP no longer wants to play for the Packers, with last year’s scrutinized Jordan Love pick at the center of Rodgers’ disenchantment with the franchise.
Packers GM Brian Gutekunst subsequently issued multiple statements indicating the team will not trade its incumbent starter. The Packers are taking a year-to-year approach with Rodgers, but some type of extension discussions have occurred even after Green Bay drafted Rodgers’ would-be heir apparent last year. Rodgers may now be ready to play another card.
