Can punter Daniel Whelan push veteran Pat O’Donnell for Packers roster spot?

The Green Bay Packers signed Daniel Whelan this offseason, giving them two punters on the 90-man roster, along with veteran Pat O’Donnell. This is not a training camp battle that will garner a ton of attention. In fact, it might not even be an actual training camp battle. But there’s a reason — whatever that may be — that the Packers added Whelan, so the question at punter heading into the summer is: Can the inexperienced Whelan push the veteran O’Donnell for the starting job?

Wheelan was named to the All-XFL team this past spring, beating out former NFL punter Marquette King.
