Many players on the Green Bay Packers helped their stock during OTAs and mandatory minicamps, but some players hurt their stock. There will be a lot of time to discuss between now and training camp who will make the 53-man roster and who will potentially miss it.
The Green Bay Packers had several rookies on the roster who helped contribute a season ago, and they hope the same will happen again this season. Green Bay was one of the youngest teams in the NFL last season and some of the young players have room to grow into something special.

This was not a quiet offseason for the Green Bay Packers. They want to be a team that gets recognized by the national media all season long.
Green Bay Packers Rookie Quarterback Michael Pratt Listed As One of the Winners During the Offseason Programs

Brian Sampson of dairylandexpress.com wrote about five Green Bay players being winners throughout the off-season workouts. One of those players who he thought performed well throughout the offseason so far is rookie quarterback Michael Pratt.
Pratt was a seventh-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Tulane. There was a chance that he could have gone in the third round or the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
Sampson wrote about Michael Pratt:
“The competition to be Jordan Love’s backup promises to be fierce when training camp kicks off at the end of July. That’s thanks to Michael Pratt’s strong play during the Packers’ offseason workouts.
Pratt, a record-breaking quarterback out of Tulane who was drafted in the seventh round, showed why he was successful in college. He has a live arm that inspires confidence in his throws. His decision-making is also top-notch, as he rarely puts the ball in a position where the defense can make a play on it.
With the Packers unlikely to carry three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster next season, the battle between Pratt and second-year pro Sean Clifford will be a fun one.
Clifford, a 2023 fifth-rounder, impressed during his rookie year despite not receiving any real playing time during the regular season. He showed out during training camp and preseason, inspiring confidence in his ability to step onto the field if Love were ever to be absent. However, he’ll have to prove his worth all over again, as Pratt is hot on his heels.”
Sean Clifford has not performed well throughout mandatory minicamps because he was prone to throwing interceptions. Michael Pratt might have more upside at this point for the Packers. Pratt would be a more reliable backup than Clifford would be for Jordan Love.
