The Green Bay Packers are back in town for training camp, and they had their first big series of workouts of the offseason. In total, the team brought in nine players, including four running backs, three tights and two players who are eligible for international exemptions. Let’s break down these players.
Jefferson was picked in the seventh round by the Detroit Lions and has also spent time with the Tennessee Titans, Arizona Cardinals (under Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon) and San Francisco 49ers. He was waived by the 49ers on June 2nd.
For his career, he’s played in 11 NFL games (seven in his rookie season in 2021) and has posted 21 carries for 96 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. He’s played 25 total special teams snaps in his NFL career and hasn’t had experience there as a returner.
Major played five seasons at Oklahoma before transferring to Minnesota for his final year of college football in 2024. He had a cup of coffee with the Baltimore Ravens last season before resurfacing with the Houston Gamblers this spring. He finished third in a three-man committee in Houston and posted 43 carries for 228 yards (5.3 yards per carry) along with three touchdowns.
Hey, an old friend. The Packers signed Jalen White as an undrafted free agent last year but eventually placed him on the injured reserve and waived him in training camp with an injury settlement. When he was healthy again, White signed with the UFL’s Gamblers, where he got the most carries on the team (90) and ran for 268 yards (3.0 yards per carry) and two touchdowns. White was getting a good amount of work on special teams last preseason before he went down with an injury.
Wright is a 27-year-old who got his start in the NFL as a UDFA in 2023 after spending five years in college football at William & Mary and Monmouth. He’s played in four NFL games (including four last year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and handled some kickoff return duty (3 of 73, long of 28) for Tampa. He was waived by the Buccaneers in May.
Beetham was a reserve on Michigan’s 2023 title team, after transferring from Illinois, and then later played two more seasons with Georgia Tech. In total, he posted nine receptions for 163 yards (18.1 yards per reception) and a touchdown at the college level, mostly coming in his final season at Tech. After six years in college, he has not earned a roster spot as a UDFA with a team up to this point. He did make The Athletic’s The Beast, where he was reported to have measured in at 6’5” and 254 pounds at his pro day and ran a 5.06 40-yard dash and was.ranked as the 78th tight end in the class.
Like Beetham, Biber is another potential...
