Embracing rookie camp: Sean Clifford, the new quarterback for the Packers
The Green Bay Packers selected Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford in the fifth round, and he has a good chance of being the team’s backup quarterback. He’ll compete with journeyman Danny Etling to be the backup performer. Clifford also received Aaron Rodgers’ former locker.
Learning from Love and Etling is one thing, but now Tom Clements, the Packers QB coach who is credited with developing Rodgers and Love, has his hands on Clifford. He has been in his ear on how to improve since he walked through the door.
