GREEN BAY, Wis. – Everything about the last six months has been new for DeShone Kizer – from the trade to the Green Bay Packers to a competition for a backup job to the way he won that job.
Two trades – the one that brought Kizer to the Packers in March and Wednesday’s deal that sent Brett Hundley to the Seattle Seahawks – put the former second-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in position to back up Aaron Rodgers this season.
“You know, it’s interesting being a starting quarterback pretty much my whole life other than my redshirt year [at Notre Dame], this is kind of a unique situation when you know you’re not going to be QB1,” Kizer said recently.
