GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers will have a long snapper competition after all.
Georgia Tech’s Jack Coco, who participated in the team’s rookie minicamp as one of two tryout players at the position, signed with the Packers on Monday. Coco was a backup tight end last season for the Yellow Jackets.
Coco joins Steven Wirtel, who replaced Hunter Bradley at midseason and snapped in nine regular-season games. Wirtel also snapped in the playoff game; he was bullied backward on the blocked punt that ruined Green Bay’s season.
Coco is a remarkable story.
