First reported by WKOW’s Amy Gill and later by multiple media on Friday afternoon, Wisconsin Badgers running back Taiwan Deal will participate in the Green Bay Packers’ rookie orientation camp this weekend on a tryout basis.
Deal’s former high school, DeMatha Catholic, first tweeted news of him signing a deal last Saturday after the 2019 NFL Draft. This does not appear to be the case any further.
Though injuries ravaged his redshirt sophomore and junior campaigns, Deal became a valuable complement to Jonathan Taylor in his final year at Wisconsin during the 2018 season.
