The Green Bay Packers have made a flurry of moves today. It started off with a couple of releases, however, now they have made some new additions. The Packers have a new wide receiver on their roster. No, it’s not Odell Beckham Jr… WR Dede Westbrook has been signed to the Packers practice squad.
Green Bay Packers Sign WR Dede Westbrook
The Green Bay Packers have added to their wide receiver room. Dede Westbrook was a fourth-round draft pick in the 2017 draft. He attended college at the University of Oklahoma. Westbrook has a total of 170 receptions, 1,788 yards, and 9 touchdowns throughout his career so far. He has also returned a total of 69 punts in his career.
Westbrook is listed at 6 feet and 178 pounds. He has shown himself to be able to get production on a roster crowded with other receivers. He accumulated 1,720 yards (and nine touchdowns) on 160 receptions during 40 games with the Jaguars. The Packers may ask him to play a depth role on the active roster in the near future.
