Is there any room for Kurt Benkert?
Packers quarterback Kurt Benkert has taken Green Bay and social media by storm in his first preseason with the franchise. From riding around in a Halo costume to joining the locals for Fourth of July festivities to his personable stories in post-practice pressers, Benkert has already proven to be a fan favourite since moving to Titletown in late June. His Halo costume won’t influence his standing on the 53-man roster, though. And the Packers’ depth at some positions begs the question – is there any room for Kurt Benkert?
The Virginia product joined the Falcons as an undrafted free agent in 2018 and spent most of his two seasons on the practice squad before being waived in February.
