A number of former Green Bay Packers players are finding new homes this off-season. The majority of which have been on the offensive side of the ball. Aaron Rodgers, Robert Tonyan, Allen Lazard, Marcedes Lewis, and Randall Cobb have all moved on from the team this off-season. On the defensive side, Dean Lowry also found a new home in Minnesota. It seems likely that safety Adrian Amos will have a new team in 2023 as well. That is a lot of turnover for one off-season. It would appear that one more former defensive player has signed with a new team as well.

Jack Heflin signed with the Green Bay Packers after college. He was eventually cut by the team. He also had a very brief stint with the New York Giants before suiting up for the Houston Roughnecks in the XFL. Heflin got his chance to shine in the XFL and took home the honor of All-XFL team. Heflin has a long journey ahead of him to crack the practice squad or opening-day roster, but if he’s able to, it will make for one heck of a story!
