Packers trying out WR Bo Melton at CB following release of Jaire Alexander
Our Summary
The Green Bay Packers are currently exploring versatile options within their roster amidst recent changes. They have moved on from Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander, while Bo Melton, typically a wide receiver, is trying out as a cornerback during the team’s minicamp. This position switch comes as Green Bay boasts a deep pool of wide receiver talent, having drafted Matthew Golden and Savion Williams, joining a crowded receiver room. Melton’s adaptability is highlighted by his previous performances on special teams, and his potential genetic advantage with his brother, Max Melton, playing as a cornerback for the Arizona Cardinals. The Packers, managed by Brian Gutekunst, are considering Melton’s versatility as a strategic advantage, similar to other multifunctional players in the league.
