Published:
Georgia led the SEC with 13 players selected in the 2025 NFL Draft. Somewhat surprisingly, Nazir Stackhouse was not among the Bulldogs to be drafted, but he’s still getting an NFL opportunity.
The Green Bay Packers are reportedly signing the former Georgia defensive lineman.

Stackhouse has an impressive resume for a UDFA pickup. Over 5 seasons, Stackhouse played in 59 games for UGA. He became a starter during the 2022 season, in which Georgia repeated as national champions.
For his college career, Stackhouse finished with 96 total tackles, logging 84 over the past 3 seasons. He also had 9 TFLs and 3 sacks in his Georgia career.
Stackhouse was an All-SEC second-team selection in 2023 after recording 24 tackles including 3 TFLs. This past season, Stackhouse logged 27 total tackles.
It’s an uphill battle to make an NFL roster as an undrafted free agent, but the Packers may be getting a post-draft steal in Stackhouse.

Dane Brugler had a 5th-6th round grade on Nazir Stackhouse. 6-3, 327 pounds. Definitely could make the 53-man roster as the backup nose tackle.
