Green Bay is bringing in UFL MVP Jack Plummer for a workout next week, a move that absolutely screams desperation from a team that’s been scrambling to fill out its quarterback room all season. This isn’t just a casual look; it’s a big deal for a guy who just led the Orlando Storm to glory in the UFL.
From UFL MVP to NFL Tryout: Plummer’s Journey
Let’s be real: when you’re the UFL’s 2026 MVP and passing leader, throwing 17 touchdowns against just one interception, you don’t stay unsigned for long. Plummer, a 2024 draft prospect, already has a pretty interesting backstory. He played college ball at Purdue, California, and Louisville, then signed with the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent in 2024. He spent his rookie year chilling on the Panthers’ practice squad before they waived him last August. But the dude obviously found his groove in the UFL, lighting it up for the Storm. He’s got that raw talent, too, with an 8.36 RAS score out of 10.00, putting him in the top tier of QBs from the last few decades. The guy has been grinding, getting workouts with the San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions, and New York Jets since the UFL season wrapped. Now, it’s the Packers’ turn to kick the tires.
Green Bay’s Quarterback Carousel Is Spinning Fast
This Plummer workout is the latest twist in what has been an absolutely wild season for the Packers’ quarterback depth. They *just* signed Kedon Slovis to their practice squad earlier this week, and they still have one practice squad spot wide open. Why such a scramble? They only carried three QBs during the preseason. Then, they released Kyron Drones in Week 1. And if that wasn’t enough, they traded their QB3, Kyle McCord, to the Miami Dolphins. That’s a lot of churn, right? It means Green Bay is seriously thin at the position, and they’re clearly looking under every rock, including the UFL, to find someone who can come in and contribute.
What happens next with Plummer? Will the Packers sign him to that open practice squad spot? This is a huge opportunity for Plummer, and it’s a telling sign for Green Bay that they’re still trying to stabilize their quarterback room this far into the regular season. This workout could lead to an NFL shot for a player who earned it.
