Green Bay Packers har fundet sin nye udfordrer til Jordan Love. Holdet har indgået en kontrakt med Virginia Tech-kviksølvet Kyron Drones, som ikke blev draftet i NFL’s årlige udvælgelsesproces, skriver NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero.
Drones var en af blot to quarterbacks, der besøgte Packers på en top-30-forudgående udvælgelsesbesøg inden draften. Den anden var Texas Tech’s Behren Morton, som senere blev draftet af New England Patriots i syvende runde.
Drones startede sin college-karriere på Baylor, inden han skiftede til Virginia Tech. I løbet af tre sæsoner med Hokies-landsholdet nåede han at kaste for 5.566 yards og 44 touchdowns med en præcision på 58,3 procent. Derudover løb han selv 1.798 yards og scorede 20 touchdowns, hvilket giver ham en samlet statistik på 7.364 yards og 64 touchdowns.
Han kommer nu til at konkurrere med Jordan Love, som er Packers’ etablerede startende quarterback, samt de nytilkomne Desmond Ridder og Kyle McCord i holdets quarterback-opsætning.
