Green Bay Packers’ speedster Rico Gafford is making the switch back to defense after trying his hand at offense. Gafford had been listed on the team’s official website as a wide receiver but is now listed at cornerback. The Packers signed Gafford to a reserve/future contract for the 2022 season.
Cornerback will be a pretty easy transition for Gafford, who played the position for two seasons at the University of Wyoming. Gafford appeared in 27 games, totaling 103 tackles, 17 pass breakups, and six interceptions.
Standing at 5-9.5, Gafford is a tad undersized, but his speed helps make up for it.
