Scott has yet to play in an NFL game, but offers a good combination of size and speed. The Packers are signing wide receiver Caleb Scott to their practice squad according to a report from ESPN’s Rob Demovsky . He was part of a group of players who worked out for the Packers earlier this week.

The 6-foot-2, 203-pound Scott was a teammate of Packers linebacker Oren Burks at Vanderbilt, catching 72 passes for 1,061 yards and four touchdowns over his four-year career with the Commodores. Despite turning in a 4.4 40-yard dash and a 37-inch vertical leap at Vanderbilt’s pro day, he wasn’t selected in the 2018 NFL Draft and hasn’t made much of an impact at the NFL level since then.

He spent some time with the Seattle Seahawks but has yet to appear in an NFL game.

The Packers have shown a preference for big-bodied receivers in the Brian Gutekunst era, and Scott fits that profile. In the near term, though, he’s likely to be a strictly special teams contributor, should he ever make his way to the 53-man roster.

As usual Gute is turning over the bottom of the roster looking for someone who might contribute. I'm glad he is. You just never know when you find the late bloomer or a guy who fits this system. Over the years we have seen plenty of players who don't fit the system it would be nice to hit on a couple that are a fit.

Lazard wasn’t wanted by anyone .
And let’s face it, he’s SLOW.
Yet he always seems to find a way to get open. And makes the catch.
Speed is nice, for sure.
But football speed has more benefits.

Can you imagine almost any other professional player in any sport admitting to their deficiency.
Refreshing!!

Remember how Greg Jennings got. How he thought he was the greatest of all times. He let his ego take hold of him, and when he left Green Bay, he did nothing.
Having a great QB like Rodgers helps average guys reach way above what they might be with a lesser QB.
And this year especially, with Rodgers relying more on his short check downs, is really opening up the offense.
I LOVE what I’m seeing!!!

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break

wpr (15-Nov) : wow. That three different things for the kid.

Zero2Cool (15-Nov) : MarShawn Lloyd has appendicitis according to Matt LaFleur.
