GREEN BAY, Wis. – Rico Gafford has a new number but an old position.
The Green Bay Packers have switched Gafford from receiver to cornerback and given him jersey No. 37.
The new position isn’t new at all.
Gafford played his final two seasons of college football at Wyoming, where he intercepted two passes as a junior in 2016 and four passes as a senior in 2017 to earn all-Mountain West Conference honors.
At Wyoming’s pro day in 2018 – quarterback Josh Allen was the headliner – Gafford ran his 40-yard dash in 4.
