His story is beginning to become well documented. What was an interesting story at OTAs has become much more intriguing as training camp has gone on. And that’s because Rico Gafford is starting to catch people’s attention. After switching from CB to WR with the Oakland Raiders in 2018, Gafford caught only 2 passes for 66 yards and 1 TD through three seasons. He then bounced around the league before signing a futures contract with Green Bay after the 2021 season.
Matt LaFleur approached him after the draft and recommended a position change, and that conversation might have just revitalized Gafford’s career.
