Packers 2021 Roster - Quarterback

 Wow!  What an off season! Drama - Drama - Drama!

On the present 90 man roster, the Packers have 3 quarterbacks:

1 - Aaron Rodgers

2 - Jordan Love

3 - Kurt Benkert

First, who is Kurt Benkert?????

Kurt Benkert - 6'3" - 218 lbs - 2 years - Virginia

2019 - Signed by Atlanta - Free Agent - injured toe first pre-season game

2020 - Practice Squad - Atlanta

2021 - May 15 - signed by Packers

Started two years for Virginia in college - 5759 career yards - 46 touchdown  - 21 interceptions

He chances of making team - Practice Squad.  See what he has in the pre-season games.

Of course, Jordan Love - drafted last year by Packers in round one (Added to the Rodgers Drama)

Did not suit up for a game last year!  

• Was inactive (third QB) for all 16 games and both postseason games as a rookie in 2020.
• Became just the fifth Utah State player in school history to be selected in the first round of the NFL draft, joining Bill Munson (L.A. Rams, 1964, No. 7 overall) as the only QBs in school history to be picked in the first round.
• Became the ninth QB in franchise history and the fourth since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to be selected in the first round by the Packers.
• Finished his career at Utah State ranked No. 2 in school history in passing yards (8,600), completions (689) and attempts (1,125), tied for No. 2 in TD passes (60), and No. 3 in completion percentage (61.2) despite playing just three seasons.
• Set school career records for total offense (9,003 yards), 300-yard passing games (12) and completions of 80-plus yards (four).
• Earned honorable mention All-Mountain West recognition as a junior in 2019 after setting a single-season school record with 293 completions and posting 3,402 passing yards, the second most in a season in school history.
• As a sophomore in 2018, set Utah State single-season records for TD passes (32), passing yards (3,567) and 300-yard passing games (seven).

And of course, Aaron Rodgers!  If you are a Packer Fan, you know how blessed we are - Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers - 29 years!!!  If you watch Packer Football, you have seen to incredible QB play!  But, two entirely different styles!  I could spend 10 pages on the stats, accomplishments, but one thing is obvious - each QB has one Super Bowl Win!  Now,.....

Of course, this will be a drama year!  Reporters will continue to ask Aaron if he is HAPPY!  My prediction, another good year for Aaron, he will play with a chip.  He is still "Pissed Off!"  Let's see if he can win Super Bowl #2!  One thing I know:

--- He has a great running game

--- He has a great receiver, and one of the best pass catching tight ends

--- He has, I think a great offensive line (Key is the rookie center)

And, the defense should be better.... so,...... at the quarterback position, we are ready!
