The Green Bay Packers needed a veteran backup quarterback behind Jordan Love, but drafting Sean Clifford in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft isn’t exactly what fans had in mind.
Clifford is expected to take over QB2 duties in Green Bay after the team seemingly reached for the sixth-year senior out of Penn State. Despite being ranked 423rd on the consensus big board, Clifford ended up going in the first 150 picks of this year’s draft. Despite heading into his rookie season, Clifford will be older as a rookie (25 years old) than Love (24).
