Many players on the Green Bay Packers will be fighting for roster spots when training camp comes next month. For the past few days, it was a mandatory minicamp for the Packers. There were more questions answered throughout the last couple of days, but more will be cleared up when next month rolls around.
Jordan Love will be the starting quarterback this season for the Green Bay Packers. That is one of the few things on the roster that Green Bay will not have to worry about when training camp arrives next month.
It will be more important to figure out who will be backing up Jordan Love this season. Love was the backup quarterback to Aaron Rodgers for a few years before taking over the starting job last season.
Green Bay Packers Quarterback Sean Clifford Is In Danger Of Losing His Backup Quarterback Job To Rookie Michael Pratt
Sean Clifford was the backup quarterback to Jordan Love a season ago. Clifford was a rookie last season coming out of Penn State. He was selected in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Penn State. This year, Sean Clifford is battling with rookie Michael Pratt for the right to Jordan Love’s backup quarterback on the Green Bay Packers roster.
Sayre Bedinger of lombardiavenue.com believes that Sean Clifford is one of five Green Bay Packers who is in danger of losing his job. Bedinger said about Clifford:
“To say it’s been a tough OTAs for Sean Clifford might be an understatement. There’s nothing wrong with quarterbacks throwing an interception or two at practice, but Clifford threw three interceptions at Packers minicamp at their Tuesday practice session and another interception at their Wednesday practice session. Four interceptions in two days is a bit much, and it’s going to open the door more than just a crack for 2024 seventh-round pick Michael Pratt.
Pratt was an NFL Draft steal for the Packers in 2024 in the seventh round. There were a number of people talking about him as a third-to-fourth-round pick at the very worst, and Green Bay scooped him up after an inexplicable fall to the bottom of the draft.
Given the fact that Pratt has been impressive and Clifford has gone the opposite direction, the 2023 fifth-round pick could very well be on the proverbial chopping block when the Packers reconvene for training camp in July.”
Michael Pratt played for the Tulane Wave last season. During his senior year, he completed 65.4% of his passes for 2,406 yards, 22 touchdowns, and five interceptions. Pratt also rushed 286 yards on 98 carries and five touchdowns, along with averaging 2.9 yards per carry.
It appears as if Pratt has the edge over Clifford at the moment. Michael Pratt is only 22 years old and Sean Clifford is already 25 years old. Clifford will turn 26 on 7/14. Pratt is younger and has way more upside as a quarterback than Sean Clifford does at this point in there respective football careers.
