Packers didn’t apply the lesson of JK Scott to Anders Carlson

If there was a lesson for Brian Gutekunst in punter JK Scott, the Green Bay Packers general manager did not apply it to kicker Anders Carlson.

The Packers waived Carlson on Tuesday. Gutekunst drafted Carlson from Auburn in the sixth round last year but moved on from the kicker after one season.

In Gutekunst’s first NFL Draft calling the shots for Green Bay, the Packers picked Scott from Alabama in the fifth round in 2018. Green Bay cut Scott after three seasons.

Scott is preparing for his third season with the Los Angeles Chargers.
