Alex McGough, who served as the Packers’ No. 3 quarterback last season, is embracing the change to receiver. Now, he just needs to get healthy.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – A couple weeks after the season ended, Green Bay Packers passing game coordinator Jason Vrable called Alex McGough.
With that, the 28-year-old McGough, who entered the NFL as a seventh-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2018 and won USFL MVP for the Birmingham Stallions in 2023, for the first time in his football life was no longer a quarterback. With Jordan Love and Sean Clifford atop the depth chart, McGough understood that a position change might provide the best chance of extending his career. However, the learning curve will be steep and the competition will be stiff at arguably the Packers’ strongest position group.
From one perspective, McGough’s experience as a quarterback should help in that he knows how to read coverages and anticipate weaknesses in coverage. On the other hand, it’s one thing running a route as drawn on a card for the scout team. It’s quite another to run that route with nuance. It’s like the difference between being a cook and being a chef.
