Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur confirmed the confidence in Anders Carlson from special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia was a driving force for the team picking the Auburn kicker in the sixth round of the 2023 draft.
LaFleur said the Packers like the talent and the potential of Carlson, who is finally kicking without a brace on his surgically repaired left leg.
But Bisaccia — who once coached All-Pro Daniel Carlson, Anders’ brother — was the motivating factor.
“He was very high on him, obviously, having a history there with his brother,” LaFleur said Sunday.
