The Green Bay Packers have signed K Jack Podlesny. General Manager Brian Gutekunst announced the transaction Wednesday.
(pod-LEZ-knee) Podlesny (6-0, 195), a first-year player out of the University of Georgia, originally signed as an undrafted rookie with the Minnesota Vikings this past May and was released during training camp. The former walk-on played in 40 games for the Bulldogs over three seasons (2020-22), connecting on 61 of 74 field goals (82.4 pct.) and registering 86 touchbacks. Podlesny earned first-team All-SEC honors from the coaches and The Associated Press in 2022 after connecting on 26 of 31 field goal attempts and 73 of 74 extra points. He will wear No. 6 for the Packers.
