Packers are signing Jack Coco to add competition at long snapper on the 90-man roster.

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers will have a long snapper competition after all.

Georgia Tech’s Jack Coco, who participated in the team’s rookie minicamp as one of two tryout players at the position, signed with the Packers on Monday. Coco was a backup tight end last season for the Yellow Jackets.

Coco joins Steven Wirtel, who replaced Hunter Bradley at midseason and snapped in nine regular-season games. Wirtel also snapped in the playoff game; he was bullied backward on the blocked punt that ruined Green Bay’s season.

Coco is a remarkable story. He arrived at Georgia Tech as a walk-on in 2017. He redshirted his opening season, then handled the Yellow Jackets’ snapping duties on field goals and extra points the next three seasons. According to the school, he did not have a bad snap during that period.

In 2020, he went from long snapper/backup offensive lineman to long snapper/backup tight end and caught four passes for 22 yards. In 2021, he focused only on tight end and added one reception for 4 yards. His only playing time on special teams last season came on kickoff return.

In August 2021, he earned a full scholarship to raucous applause from his teammates during a team meeting.
