Packers sign Canadian QB Taylor Elgersma, who only started playing football in 10th grade
- The Green Bay Packers added 23-year-old Canadian signal-caller Taylor Elgersma to their expanded offseason squad following his successful tryout during the team's rookie minicamp in May 2025.
- Elgersma, who transitioned from hockey to football starting in 10th grade, earned the Hec Crighton Trophy as the top university player in Canada before not being selected in the 2025 NFL Draft.
- He impressed the Packers during the Senior Bowl and an official pre-draft visit, standing 6-foot-6 and weighing 227 pounds, despite only starting 11-on-11 football in early 2025.
- In 2024, Elgersma completed 293 of 397 passes for 4,252 yards with 35 touchdowns and rushed for seven touchdowns across 13 games in his final collegiate season.
- The Packers see Elgersma as an unconventional option at quarterback who will need to rapidly adapt to the NFL but has the potential to challenge Malik Willis and Sean Clifford for a backup position in 2025.
