Packers Sign QB Kyron Drones as Undrafted Free Agent

The Green Bay Packers have a history of developing quarterbacks, and the addition of Kyron Drones as an undrafted free agent continues this trend. Drones, who played at both Baylor and Virginia Tech, brings a dual-threat ability to the position. While he may not immediately challenge Desmond Ridder for the backup role behind Jordan Love, his potential for development makes him an intriguing prospect for the Packers.

Given the Packers’ emphasis on quarterback development, Drones will likely spend time on the practice squad to refine his skills and learn the Packers’ system. His athleticism and arm talent provide a foundation that the coaching staff can work with to mold him into a reliable backup in the future. This signing also reflects the Packers’ strategy of ensuring they have capable backups, as demonstrated by their past investments in quarterbacks like Malik Willis. The team recognizes the importance of having a strong quarterback room, given the potential for injuries and the need for reliable insurance behind the starter.

Drones will likely compete for a #3 role and could spend his rookie season on the practice squad to develop.

He joins Jordan Love, Desmond Ridder, and Kyle McCord, adding depth and competition to the position.
