Perhaps the most surprising thing about the Green Bay Packers’ roster, as it stands after today’s cuts, is that 10 of the 53 players are rookies.

That could always change in the next 16 hours when waiver claims can be put in, but for now seven of the 10 draft picks and three undrafted free agents have survived. The waiver period ends at 11 a.m. tomorrow.

What’s more, two of the three undrafted rookies play the same position, outside linebacker, where both Jarami Lattimore and Vic So’oto made it.

“I doubted even a few days ago that both of us would make it,” said So’oto, who was Lattimore’s roommate at St. Norbert College in training camp. “I thought maybe one of us would have been on the 53 and probably the other one would have been on the practice squad. But for both of us to make it and being undrafted, it’s just really cool.”

The other undrafted rookie to make it was safety M.D. Jennings.

Good read on So'oto....GJ gets to break the news....


GREEN BAY – While Vic So’oto made the Green Bay Packers’ 53-man roster on Saturday, the undrafted rookie free agent outside linebacker didn’t make it into the main locker room until Monday.

So’oto had spent training camp dressing on “The Green Mile” – the nickname the players have given the auxiliary locker room – along with the rest of the undrafted free agents and roster longshots. When players reported to work Sunday, he, Jamari Lattimore, M.D. Jennings and Ryan Taylor still had their lockers back there,

“I think we’re just comfortable back here,” So’oto joked Sunday. “’Red’ (equipment manager Gordon ‘Red’ Batty) said he was going to move us into the big locker room.”

So’oto spent cutdown day wondering whether he had done enough to make the team, even though his tour de force performance in the preseason finale removed all doubt for most outside observers. So’oto, though, waited by his phone for a call that never came.

“It was kind of a relief, actually. A lot of relief, finally getting to a point where I can contribute and know I made the team,” So’oto said. “Nothing is for sure, especially in this business.

And there were some that thought we would go all nostalgic this season and not inject enough fresh blood into the roster. [grin1]

10 players to a roster that was deep enough last season to withstand the injury counts we did last season.

To me.. that is freaking amazing.

BTW.. if Lattimore and add some bulk to his silky smooth agile frame.. I think he may develop into one hell of a 3 down backer.

Ya think so? He does seem to end up near the ball a lot. Besides that and how undersized he is, I don't have much of an impression of him. What is it about him that you like?
