Dave Naylor of TSN in Canada is reporting that the\u00a0Green Bay Packers will be signing USports quarterback Taylor Elgersma\u00a0after a successful rookie minicamp tryout with the team last week.<\/p>\n
Elgersma was scheduled to attend the\u00a0Buffalo Bills\u2019 rookie minicamp as a tryout player, which begins on Friday, so the timing of this move is to ensure that he doesn\u2019t end up signing with the Bills.<\/p>\n
Elgersma has long been a target of the\u00a0Packers, as\u00a0they brought him in on 1 of their 30 pre-draft visits this offseason.<\/p>\n
For what it\u2019s worth, Elgersma was the only quarterback they brought into Green Bay, and\u00a0he was just one of four undrafted players who visited the Packers.<\/p>\n
From a pure talent perspective,\u00a0Elgersma was ranked as the second-best player available to teams in the Canadian Football League\u2019s 2025 draft class\u00a0\u2014 only behind Stanford receiver Elic Ayomanor, who was taken in the fourth round of the 2025\u00a0NFL Draft.<\/p>\n
He was eventually taken in the second round of the CFL draft by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, likely slipping due to his NFL prospects.<\/p>\n
For perspective, Ayomanor went undrafted in the eight-round draft, and Kurtis Rourke, who was drafted by the NFL\u2019s\u00a0San Francisco 49ers\u00a0in the seventh round, was taken one round after Elgersma in the CFL draft.<\/p>\n
While at Wilfrid Laurier, Elgersma won the equivalent of Canada\u2019s Heisman Trophy Award in the Hec Crighton Trophy.<\/p>\n
APC\u2019s own\u00a0Dusty Evely wrote a full scouting report on Elgersma, just the second USports prospect to earn a\u00a0Senior Bowl\u00a0visit, last month.<\/p>\n
