Three former Green Bay pass-catchers hope to bring home a four-peat for Birmingham

The United Football League kicks off next week, which means that the UFL’s eight rosters just went through their roster cutdown process. Many notable Green Bay Packers ended up making it through cuts, most of which were also members of the league last season.

Here’s your quick rundown on some of the top former Packers in the league:

Danny Etling, Michigan Panthers, QB

The former LSU quarterback was a member of the Packers’ roster from 2021 to 2023, but he never appeared in a regular season...

Robert Rochell will be playing with the incumbent AFC champions in 2025

Former Green Bay Packers cornerback Robert Rochell agreed to a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The former fourth-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams was picked up by the Packers in 2023 as a practice squad poaching off of the Carolina Panthers’ roster.

Rochell bounced on and off the Packers’ 53-man roster throughout the 2024 season, but ended up playing in 20 games for Green Bay over the last two seasons. For the most part, he was a special...

Green Bay’s interest in a first-round receiver appears to be legitimate

Big 12 programs are doing things a little differently in the pre-draft process these days. Collectively, they hosted a joint pro day as a conference from March 18th to March 21st, which eliminated individual schools putting on pro days for the 2025 offseason.

So when Arizona receiver Tetairoa McMillan wanted to workout on campus, it was considered a private event, rather than a program-wide pro day. Most of the NFL elected to just catch the Wildcats’ talent later in the week at the Big 12 pro day, which is...

The Packers skip out on a top-100 edge rusher in our first mock draft of 2025

Over the last week, we’ve asked you who the Green Bay Packers should take in mock draft scenarios. Now that we’ve concluded the first three rounds of the draft, we decided to write up the mock drafts together in one spot. Hopefully, you guys had fun — considering that we’re going to be running a similar exercise starting next Monday.

Without further ado, here’s who Acme Packing Company’s comment section took for the Packers in our first mock draft of the year:

#23 pick:...

Keep up with the names of all the players meeting with the Packers ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.

During Ted Thompson’s tenure as general manager of the Green Bay Packers, the team rarely brought high-level college prospects in for formal visits ahead of the NFL Draft. Thompson’s approach was almost exclusively to bring in a few players projected near the top of the draft to evaluate character or injury questions, and then use the vast majority of their visits on late-round or likely undrafted prospects.

Brian Gutekunst’s approach has differed somewhat, though the team still tends to use visits...

Wide receiver, defensive lineman, or cornerback? Those feel like the best bets for the Packers at #23.

Five weeks from today, we will be waking up and trying to get to know the Green Bay Packers’ first-round draft selection. Or at least that will be the case as long as the Packers don’t trade out of the first round of the draft that’s being held in their hometown.

With the bulk of free agency already well behind us and teams moving on to budget-friendly options, this week has been a good one to reassess team needs and start slotting players...

Stewart is an elite athlete whose production hasn’t matched his traits

Considering how strongly the Green Bay Packers’ pre-draft visits are linked to the college players that they actually select, we’re going to attempt (keyword: attempt) to get scouting reports on every player that the Packers bring in for visits this offseason. Our work is cut out for us on the first player to take a visit, the controversial edge defender Shemar Stewart.

Why is he controversial? Well, his evaluation is essentially a Rorschach test for how you view the college-to-NFL pipeline at the defensive end position. As an athlete,...

Signs point to Keisean Nixon and Nate Hobbs being Green Bay’s pairing in 2025

Here’s a question that I want to pose to Green Bay Packers fans: Does the team already have its starting cornerbacks for the 2025 season?

Last year, the plan was to play Eric Stokes opposite of Jaire Alexander with Keisean Nixon in the slot. Obviously, that didn’t work out according to plan. Not only did Stokes disappoint, leading to the Packers allowing him to walk in free agency this offseason, but Alexander dealt with a knee injury that sidelined him for the second half of the...

Kiper’s new crush appears to be UCLA’s Oluwafemi Oladejo

ESPN’s Mel Kiper recently broke down the top edge rushers in the 2025 draft class, which featured none other than Penn State’s Abdul Carter at the top of his list. The Green Bay Packers won’t be in a position to draft Carter, the second overall player on the consensus draft board, next month — but defensive end does remain a major need for the squad.

So who might be available when the Packers are on the clock with the 23rd pick? Let’s take a look at Kiper’s rankings.

Mel Kiper's edge...

Signing Banks bolstered the offensive line, but raises questions elsewhere.

A little over a week ago, the Green Bay Packers signed guard Aaron Banks to bolster their offensive line heading into 2025.

Banks is a big, burly, bruiser, and at 325 pounds. He gives the Packers another powerful blocker to throw into their increasingly gap- and inside zone-oriented running scheme — at least in theory. We’re a long way from seeing it on the field.

But in addition to what he offers as a blocker, Banks also creates a ripple effect across the rest of the offensive line. And how...

Special teams acumen and gadget plays look like his most likely contributions.

The Green Bay Packers’ latest addition — their first new face in the wide receiver room this spring — is not a true deep threat in the conventional sense, but Mecole Hardman certainly has plenty of speed to stretch defenses. But after looking into his game and how he has been used in the past, it appears that the former Georgia Bulldog is much more likely to stretch the field horizontally than vertically.

After the Kansas City Chiefs drafted Hardman in the second round of the 2019 [NFL...

Today we examine Jordan Morgan’s rookie season.

Green Bay Packers rookie offensive lineman Jordan Morgan only played a handful of games in 2024. Morgan split time between right tackle and left guard as a rookie, leveraging his athleticism in the Packers’ zone-blocking scheme. In the games he did play, he rotated in and out on a series-by-series basis with right guard Sean Rhyan. In Week 9, Morgan kicked over to left guard when Elgton Jenkins had to play center.

However, Morgan’s rookie season might be mostly defined by injury rather than position versatility. He battled a shoulder injury through the...
