Claypool Guns for NFL Comeback with Packers

0:00On May 1st, Chase Claypool, the former Pittsburgh Steelers-wide receiver, is gunning for an NFL comeback. The second round picked from 2020 got an invite to the Green Bay Packers rookie minicamp on a trial basis. He burst onto the scene with Pittsburgh, hauling in 62 catches for 873 yards, and nine touchdowns as a rookie. That included a wild four touchdown game against the Philadelphia Eagles, putting everyone on notice. Claypool followed up with another strong year in 2021, snagging 59 passes for 860 yards. But his career took a turn in 2022, when the Steelers traded him to the Chicago Bears for a valuable second round pick, which they flipped. And to corner back, Jolly Porter, Jr. He struggled after that, catching just 18 passes and 10 games with Chicago, then 4 and 7 with the Miami Dolphins in 2023. Last season with the Buffalo Bills, a foot injury landed him on injured reserve before he even played. This Packers shot gives Claypool fresh start in the NFC North. If he shines, it could reignite that early promise and land him a roster spot.
