The Green Bay Packers made 13 selections in the 2023 NFL Draft and then signed another 10-plus undrafted rookies between draft night and as recently as a few weeks ago. In their preseason opener against Cincinnati, many of those rookies were able to play very well.
“I think confidence is huge,” said Matt LaFleur after the game, “whether it’s in football or in life. And anytime you go out there and perform well, it definitely gives you confidence. I thought there were a lot of great young players out there, whether it was (Dontayvion) Wicks, or (Malik) Heath, or (Carrington) Valentine, a lot of guys got in there and did a really nice job.”
