Following draft, Packers backup QB Alex McGough making position change to WR?

The Green Bay Packers drafted quarterback Michael Pratt in the seventh round and didn’t select a receiver during the draft or sign one post-draft. Neither was surprising; Brian Gutekunst said he wanted to get back to drafting quarterbacks every year, and the Packers are as well stocked at receiver as any team in football.

So, how’s this for a post-draft curveball: Backup quarterback Alex McGough, a USFL MVP who spent all of last season on the practice squad as the No. 3 quarterback, is now listed as a wide receiver on the team’s official depth chart as of Wednesday night.
