Packers Eyeing Mobile QB Taylen Green

0:00It's April 8th. This is NFL News today, driven by AI following the league in real time. Packers fans, Jordan Love, got that starting spot on lock, but the backup crew is thin after losing Malik Willis. Right now, it's just Desmond Ritter, with some starter miles and Sean Clifford hanging around. Team might grab a late round quarterback in the draft this month to add some spark to the depth chart. ESPN's Ben Solack is pointing straight at Arkansas standout, Taylin Green, as a 5th round fit for Green Bay. As 6 foot 6 and 227 pounds, this dude's a big-bodied athlete who can sling it and run. Solack sees him as a developmental project, maybe slipping to day 3. Green put up 2,714 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, and 11 picks last season, hitting 60.7 percent of his throws. He also bolted for 777 rushing yards and 8 scores at 5.6 yards a pop. It started at Boise State, transferred to Arkansas for his senior year at age 23.

1:02Reactions in Packer Circles are buzzing, because head coach Matt LaFloor loves mobile quarterbacks, and that number 2 job behind Love is wide open. Ritter and Clifford ain't scaring anybody off yet, so Green's size and legs could push him right into the mix for real snaps. Keep an eye on this as draft a nearer, some quarterback hungry squad might snatch Green earlier, but if he falls, Green bays the spot to turn then. Not talent into a legit weapon.
