Green Bay Packers Sign Undrafted WR Will Sheppard Ahead Training Camp

News summary

The Green Bay Packers are signing undrafted rookie wide receiver Will Sheppard, a former Colorado Buffaloes player, to their 90-man offseason roster ahead of training camp. Sheppard, who previously agreed to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but failed his physical, impressed at Colorado with 48 receptions for 621 yards and six touchdowns in 2024, and is known for his ability to make contested catches and be a red-zone threat. Despite a crowded Packers receiving corps, Sheppard's size and athleticism, including a 4.54-second 40-yard dash and a 40.5-inch vertical leap, have earned him a spot. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs signed another undrafted free agent wide receiver, Hal Presley, who was released by the Buffalo Bills and had 429 yards with three touchdowns at Baylor in 2024. Presley joins the Chiefs to compete for a roster spot after the departure of Justyn Ross. Both teams are giving these undrafted receivers an opportunity to prove themselves during training camp.
