Packers Sign Mobile QB Drones, Pass on Nussmeier

The Green Bay Packers bolstered their quarterback roster post-draft by signing undrafted free agent Kyron Drones from Virginia Tech. Drones, known for his mobile playmaking style, will compete with Desmond Ridder and Kyle McCord for the backup position behind Jordan Love. Initially, the Packers had their sights set on LSUs Garrett Nussmeier, but he was snatched up by Kansas City. Nussmeiers stock fell due to a subpar senior year, despite impressive junior stats. Drones mobility is a valuable asset for the Packers backup role, while Nussmeier is more of a pocket passer. In training camp, Drones will vie for the third-string position, providing the Packers with an athletic option while keeping Nussmeiers mismatch at bay.
