Green Bay Packer have announced their signing.
**Zach Goforth, LB, Cal Poly**
Goforth is an off-ball linebacker with impressive speed and agility, fitting the Packers’ draft criteria for the position. According to NFL Draft Bible, he’s a “hard-hitting” player with “blitzing ability” and significant special teams experience, having played 452 snaps across various phases.
**Jarveon Howard, RB, Alcorn State**
Alcorn State’s Jarveon Howard, similar to Josh Jacobs and Marshawn Lloyd, is a compact running back at 5-10 and 215 pounds. In 2022, he had a standout season with 1,239 rushing yards, averaging 5.0 yards per carry, and scored 12 touchdowns, ranking 20th in yards after contact among FCS running backs. Howard maintained a 5.0 yards per carry average and scored seven touchdowns in the following year, also catching 54 career passes, with 36 in 2023, averaging 6.6 yards per catch.
**Donovan Jennings, OL, South Florida**
Jennings is a versatile offensive lineman and a great athlete with a RAS of 8.93 (9.65 at guard). Despite being projected as a guard in the NFL, he played over 3,100 snaps at left tackle in college, earning four seasons with a PFF pass-block grade over 70.0. The Packers, lacking interior depth, see Jennings as a strong candidate to make the final roster. Brugler notes Jennings’ athletic background, versatility, and need for refinement in hand placement and anchor strength.
**Trente Jones, OL, Michigan**
Jones is relatively inexperienced with fewer than 1,000 career snaps but is projected as a guard in the NFL. He played most of his college snaps at right tackle with some left tackle experience, a common trait among Packers’ interior linemen. In his final two seasons, Jones allowed three sacks and nine pressures, showing good run-blocking metrics.
Brugler highlights Jones’ background, functional quickness, and lower-body flexibility, but notes his need for improved hand technique and blocking angles. Jones is viewed as a practice-squad candidate with development potential.
