Green Bay Packers rookie edge rusher Brenton Cox Jr. has made the team’s initial 53-man roster, per reporting from both Matt Schneidman of The Athletic and Ryan Wood of PackersNews.com.
Cox, a prized undrafted free agent who was kicked out of the football programs at Georgia and Florida before entering the NFL, led the Packers in pressures (seven, including six hurries) and also batted down two passes (one resulting in an interception) and produced a tackle for loss over three preseason games.
Packers Wire picked Cox as one of the team’s stars of the preseason for 2023.
