Sean Clifford

25-Year-Old QuarterbackQB
2023 Fantasy Outlook
A four-year starter at Penn State, Clifford was selected by Green Bay in the fifth round of this year's draft. That may have been a bit higher than expected considering he'll turn 25 years old in July and isn't known for his arm talent, but he fits the bill for the Packers, who value his leadership skills and athleticism and are in need of a backup behind first-year starter Jordan Love. Journeyman Danny Etling is the only other quarterback on the roster, so Clifford will get the opportunity to open the season directly behind Love on the depth chart. Read Past Outlooks

Officially top backup

August 24, 2023
Clifford has officially been named the Packers' top backup to Jordan Love, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
No surprise here, as Clifford has operated as Green Bay's primary backup all through training camp and the preseason thus far. He beat out Alex McGough for the opportunity to back up Jordan Love under center. The rookie fifth-round pick is second in passing yards (345) among all quarterbacks through two preseason games.
