The Packers have started signing members of their 2023 draft class.

Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports that fifth-round quarterback Sean Clifford and seventh-round wide receiver Grant DuBose are now under contract. The team has 11 unsigned picks remaining in the class.

Clifford was a four-year starter at Penn State and beat out Titans second-round pick Will Levis for the job before Levis transferred to Kentucky. He owns school records for passing yards and passing touchdowns.

Clifford joins Danny Etling as the backup options to Jordan Love on the Packers roster.

DuBose had 126 catches for 1,684 yards and 15 touchdowns at Charlotte over the last two seasons. He was one of three wide receivers Green Bay drafted this year along with Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks.

  1. Man I don’t know why they over drafted Clifford n liked him so much, nothing special or that stands out about dude at all. If I wanted a tier 2QB only two I think have a shot at becoming starters is DTR out of UCLA n Houston’s Clayton Tune.

  2. Let’s give the kid a chance. Remember 2nd rounder Brian Brohm was over drafted and beaten out by Matt Flynn was a 7th rounder who set a Packers TD record that Rodgers tied.

  3. I’m really hoping for good things from DuBose. It’s a great situation for him and I think he’s going to take advantage. Pretty much all first and second-year players in that WR room. Guys have an almost unequalled opportunity to make their names.

  4. At his age and experience it almost seems like Clifford is coming in as a seasoned journeyman out of the gate!
