Despite being something of a Madden darling with slightly cooled real-life expectations, Bo Melton’s career as a wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers was effectively a non-starter. The receiving room continued to bloat as the franchise invested in the position, and he was effectively squeezed out of the offensive equation.
His switch over to the defensive side at cornerback could easily be seen as one last desperate heave by the coaching staff and front office to get something out of him before pulling the plug. But surprisingly, the swap seems to have mostly paid off early in camp, with Melton shining in his new role.
