The Green Bay Packers are doing their homework on potential future signal-callers, hosting Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton for a pre-draft visit this week. This marks the first quarterback visit of the cycle for Green Bay, a notable move given their limited allotment of 30 official pre-draft visits, which are typically reserved for serious targets.

Morton brings an intriguing profile to Lambeau Field. Unlike many of his highly-touted Texas Tech teammates on defense, he was a program mainstay, not a transfer. While leading the Red Raiders' offense, he compiled a solid 26-10 record as a starter. His 2024 season was his first as the full-time QB1, though it was cut short to 12 games due to a fractured leg and a head injury.

Standing at 6'2" and 211 pounds with 9.5-inch hands, Morton possesses the prototypical size NFL teams covet. His athletic testing, including a 4.89-second 40-yard dash, shows adequate mobility for the position. The son of a high school coach, he patiently waited behind transfer Tyler Shough before seizing his opportunity.

Currently viewed as a late-round or priority free-agent prospect, Morton's visit indicates the Packers are thoroughly evaluating their options behind Jordan Love. As the draft approaches, Green Bay's interest in developing quarterbacks remains a key part of their long-term team-building strategy.
