Packers Unveil Surprising Rookie Roster Moves: Could Third-Rounder Savion Williams Be the Next Breakout Star?

When it comes to building a roster that sparks both excitement and potential, the Green Bay Packers are making some clear moves you can’t overlook. Six of their eight draft picks wasted no time putting pen to paper at the kickoff of rookie minicamp, instantly bolstering the squad. Among those signees, third-round wide receiver Savion Williams stands out—not just for his hands but because this guy’s got versatility that could shake up that offensive scheme. I mean, 61 catches for over 600 yards and six touchdowns last season at TCU, plus he ran the ball over 50 times for another six scores? It’s rare to find that kind of dual-threat weapon ready to go. They also locked down several defensive linemen and a couple of late-round gems, though the first-round wideout Matthew Golden and second-round tackle Anthony Belton remain free agents for now, keeping us curious. Oh, and let’s not forget: ten undrafted rookies have already inked deals, each hungry and ready to prove themselves on a stage that demands it. The Packers’ roster picture? It’s starting to take a sharper shape, and trust me, there’ll be plenty to talk about as this group gets to work. LEARN MORE

Williams may contribute to the team in multiple ways, however. He caught 61 passes for 611 yards and six touchdowns at TCU last year while also running 51 times for 322 yards and six scores. Six of the team’s eight draft picks signed with the team at the start of rookie minicamp on Friday. That group includes third-round wideout Savion Williams, who joined first-rounder Matthew Golden as new additions to the receiving corps. The Packers have most of their draft class under contract. The Packers also signed fourth-round defensive lineman Barryn Sorrell, fifth-round defensive lineman Collin Oliver, sixth-round defensive lineman Warren Brinson, seventh-round cornerback Micah Robinson, and seventh-round guard John Williams. Golden and second-round tackle Anthony Belton remain unsigned. Ten undrafted rookies have signed with the team as well. UNLV cornerback Jonathan Baldwin, Rice tackle Brant Banks, Florida Atlantic safety Kahzir Brown, Minnesota guard Tyler Cooper, Delaware cornerback Tyron Herring, South Dakota State running back Amar Johnson, Kentucky linebacker Jamon Johnson, Northern Illinois guard J.J. Lippe, Georgia defensive lineman Nazir Stackhouse, and Georgia Southern running back Jalen White make up that group.
