Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy believes in his team's new backup quarterback.
"He has starter ability in this league. Clearly," McCarthy said of DeShone Kizer, per Zach Kruse of USA Today's Packers Wire. "In my opinion, if he was in that class this year, he would have been part of the first five quarterbacks, the first-round guys. He has exceptional arm talent."
The Packers acquired Kizer via trade from the Cleveland Browns this offseason in exchange for cornerback Damarious Randall.
