Packers Sign Dual-Threat QB Kyron Drones

0:00On April 28th, Packer skipped drafting any quarterbacks this year, but General Manager Brian Guttakunst scooped up Virginia Tech's Kyron drones as an ANN, undrafted free agent. This 6'1, 226 pound dual threat guy boasts an elite athletic score of 9.58 from his pre-draft workouts, including a blazing 40 yard dash and explosive jumps. He won't spend 5 college seasons, starting at Baylor before transferring to Virginia Tech for his last 3 years. As a runner, he's a beast-last season alone. He racked up 644 rushing yards on 170 carries with 9 touchdowns, averaging over 50 yards per game on the ground. Passing wise though, he needs serious polish. In his final year, he completed just 55.8% of his throws across 387 dropbacks, posting his lowest. Passer rating ever at 80.1, and he got sacked 25 times, thanks to a slow 3.15 second

1:01time to throw. His game echoes Jalen Hertz with that raw arm talent and mobility, but the mechanics and decision making lag behind. For Green Bay, Jordan Love remains the locked-in starter, but they lost back up Malik Willis to Miami, and now lean on Desmond Ritter for the number 2. Not after grabbing Kyle McCord, from Philly earlier this offseason. Drone slides in battling McCord for a practice squad gig, but the Packers hit his name from other teams, betting his upside turns heads in camp, and pushes him up the depth chart.
