Kurt Benkert was a fan favorite in Green Bay, despite playing just two career snaps for the Packers in the regular season. Originally signed in 2021, Benkert was Green Bay’s number three quarterback last season and saw his only reps in kneel downs against the Chicago Bears. He might be best known, though, for his accessibility on social media and his career as a video game streamer, which endeared him with a specific set of fans.
Benkert was released by the Packers in June, which he explained at the time was a courtesy by the team in an attempt to give him a shot somewhere where he could make a roster.
