Packers Change Decision on Record-Breaking UDFA Receiver

General manager Brian Gutekunst and the Green Bay Packers have been busy making moves at wide receiver this offseason.

After signing three-time Super Bowl champion Mecole Hardman in free agency, the team finally spent a first-round pick on a wide receiver, adding Texas's Matthew Golden with the 23rd overall selection. They additionally drafted TCU receiver Savion Williams in the third round.

Despite the incoming rookie additions to the room, there was yet another receiver that Green Bay added shortly after the NFL Draft concluded.
