New Green Bay Packers tight end Ben Sims brings blocking experience from his time at Baylor and more athleticism to Green Bay’s already young position group.

At roughly 11:00 AM on Wednesday, Sims was sitting in the Minnesota Vikings facility, about to enter a team meeting with the expectation that he was going to be on the practice squad after being released the day before. However, by 4:00 PM that same day, Sims was instead arriving in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

“A little surprising to be honest,” said Sims on Thursday about being a Packer.
