9/02/24 | Bucs Eyed New QB Michael Pratt in the Draft. In April, the Green Bay Packers selected Tulane quarterback Michael Pratt with the first of their two seventh-round picks, making him the 245th selection overall. Had the Packers gone in a different direction at number 245 – say, Penn State cornerback Kalen King, who they also nabbed 10 picks later – Pratt's wait for a phone call might not have lasted much longer. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers owned the very next pick and were definitely considering Pratt as an intriguing developmental option. Instead, at pick number 246 they ended up selecting Washington tight end Devin Culp, who made the regular-season roster after showing some big-play potential in training camp.

8/25/24 | Tulane Green Wave Offensive Line Could Be Best Program Has Had, With One Caveat. The Tulane Green Wave has a lot of new faces on the offensive side of the ball. 2023 AAC Player of the Year, quarterback Michael Pratt, is now with the Green Bay Packers in the NFL.

7/12/24 | Packers could surprisingly acquire Pro Bowl QB in free agency for backup role. Are the Green Bay Packers satisfied with their backup quarterbacks? With rookie Michael Pratt poised to challenge second-year man Sean Clifford for the QB No. 2 job in a battle of the inexperienced, no one could take umbrage with the Packers for turning to free agency for a better backup option. Green Bay has constructed a dynamic roster to be reckoned with around Jordan Love, and there's no reason the Packers shouldn't expect to compete in games even in the unfortunate event of a Love injury; that is, if their backup is solid enough to run an offense (no heroics required). One of either Pratt or Clifford may very well develop into a respectable NFL quarterback in due time, but Green Bay is ready to win right now.
