Green Bay, WSA (WSAU) – Green Bay packers will have a decision to be made after the 2025-2026 season on which will be the long -term backup of Jordan Love and could find it this spring during the draft of the NFL 2025.
Last summer, the packers acquired the current backup Malik Willis, who started and won two games for packers in 2024. However, it is unlikely that they will sign Willis to a new contract after the expiration of his Recruitment contract next summer because other teams will probably be ready to pay it to be a starter of filling similar to the agreement of $ 25 million over two years that the companions Gardner Minshew received raiders, and the ‘Old Choice of Recovery Sean Clifford does not seem to be a probable long -term reliable option. The packers have selected the old quarter of Tulane Michael Pratt in the 7th round of the 2024 draft, but gave it up during the reductions in the final alignment. Pratt was claimed by the Buccaneers of Tampa and signed with their training team for the 2024 season.
Here are the best five quarters that packers will interview and will probably target during the 2025 draft.
- The Quarterrière du Missouri Brady Cook: in 27 career departures for tigers, Cook launched for 34 affected and only 13 interceptions while holding a 145.2 career efficiency note. He was appointed MVP offensive 2023 Goodyear Cotton Bowl and can give Packers a backup with great experience against high -level defenses in the dry, including the creation of a conference record with 365 consecutive passengers without interception . Currently, Cook should be selected at the 6th or 7th round.
- The quarter-arre of the UCF KJ Jefferson: Jefferson is a former four-star prospect who initially engaged in Arkansas and started 12 games in a quarter for the razorbacks as a senior in red shirt in 2023, launching 2107 yards and 19 tds and rushing 161 times for 447 yards and two affected. He won three of the five games he started for the Knights before being put forward in favor of the first -year student EJ Colson. At 6’3 227 lbs., Jefferson is one of the largest quarters of this year’s draft class and would give packers an option without risk because it should be available during the 7th round or as free agent no drafted.
- Memphis Seth Henigan’s quarterrier: Henigan is a double threat quarter who was elected second All-AAC team in 2023 and was appointed player of the year TSWA 2023 for tigers. He led Memphis to a 10-2 file and a scooter’s Coffee Frisco Bowl victory in 2024 while launching 25 affected, six interceptions and more than 3,500 yards last season. Henigan has a style of play similar to Michael Pratt and would be a good option of 6th or 7th round for Matt Lafleur.
- The quarter of Louisville Tyler Shough: Shough, which measures 6’5,225 lbs, launched more than 3,100 yards and 23 affected for cardinals last season. He was a three -year leaving at Texas Tech and had history of reversing the ball before transferring to Louisville in 2024, but would be a solid option for packers in the 6th or 7th round.
- The Florida Graham Mertz Florida quarter: Wisconsin fans know Mertz of the two seasons well he spent with badgers before switching to Florida to the dead. Although he has never been able to play a coherent game at the college level, Mertz is still a young talent that would quite agree to learn and become the role of a rescue quarter in the training team Under the new quarter-back Sean Mannion. During his career at Wisconsin, Mertz ended with a 19-13 file, launching 38 affected and 26 interceptions, and was appointed three times academic. He launched for only 791 yards and six affected last season before undergoing a tear from the end of the LCA season against Tennessee in October.
The draft of the NFL 2025 will be held in Green Bay from April 24 to 26, and the packers will have a good overview of these five quarters during their next professional days and the NFL combination of this month, which begins on February 27.
