Packers have wide receiver Bo Melton playing cornerback in minicamp

The Green Bay Packers are experimenting with wide receiver Bo Melton as a cornerback during minicamp, despite his lack of defensive experience in college or the NFL. Head Coach Matt LaFleur highlighted Melton's tackling abilities on special teams as a motivating factor for this decision. LaFleur believes Melton has the potential to excel in a dual role, similar to Travis Hunter's approach in Jacksonville. LaFleur praised Melton's talent, work ethic, and consistent dedication, suggesting that Melton's position on the team will remain adaptable based on his performance.
