The Green Bay Packers want to develop young quarterbacks, and they drafted Sean Clifford in the fifth round of the 2023 draft and Michael Pratt in the seventh round of the 2024 draft to provide Matt LaFleur with a pair of prospects to groom as backup plans behind Jordan Love, the league’s highest-paid player.
However, this summer in Green Bay showed the potential danger looming within the plan, and the Packers’ need to change course to start the 2024 season.
When asked about his backups following Saturday’s preseason finale, LaFleur admitted inconsistency plagued the position and searching the waiver wire after final cuts for a better option was a real possibility.
