The Green Bay Packers originally signed Safety Henry Black as an undrafted free agent out of Baylor in 2020. Black played in 25 games over two seasons in Green Bay. He was unfortunately not retained as an exclusive rights free agent this off-season. This made him an unrestricted free agent capable of signing with any team. That team? The New York Giants.
What did Henry Black do in 2021?
Henry Black recorded 46 tackles, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, two passes defended, and one interception in 2021. The interception came off Kyler Murray on a deflected pass during last season’s win in Arizona. Black, 25, played primarily as the No. 3 safety and on special teams over all 17 games with the Packers in 2021. He was on the field for 262 defensive snaps (or 24 percent of the defense’s snaps) and 315 special teams snaps (74 percent).
Who do the Packers currently have at Safety #3?
As of May 25th, 2022 the Packers are rolling with Vernon Scott, Shawn Davis, Innis Gaines and rookies Tariq Carpenter and Tre Sterling as the players competing to backup safety position. Darnell Savage and Adrian Amos will enter the season as the two starting safeties.
