Despite practicing at CB and WR, Bo Melton won't compare himself to Travis Hunter

Despite practicing at CB and WR, Bo Melton won't compare himself to Travis Hunter

Our Summary

The Green Bay Packers are exploring the versatility of wide receiver Bo Melton by having him take snaps at cornerback during minicamp. While Melton emphasizes he is not transitioning to defense entirely, he is open to playing both positions if it proves beneficial. This move comes as the Packers are deep in wide receivers but recently released cornerback Jaire Alexander, leaving them short-staffed in that area. Melton, who has some past experience in the cornerback position from high school and early college days, believes he can contribute effectively. Although he does not see himself as comparable to Travis Hunter, known for playing both sides of the ball, Melton is eager to expand his skill set and increase his value to the team. General Manager Brian Gutekunst acknowledges that having a player capable of handling multiple roles would be advantageous for the team.
