If the Packers‘ wide receiver competition wasn’t already difficult enough to call, now there’s another player making a case for a roster spot: Darrius Shepherd.
Shepherd has been a standout performer so far this summer, including in last week’s preseason opener, and he’s now in the mix to make the roster.
And he’s received praise from Packers GM Brian Gutekunst:
“He’s really been a nice surprise for us so far,” Gutekunst said to the media on Tuesday. “Again, a long way to go, but he’s earned more opportunities.”
And one of those opportunities will come on Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens.
