Green Bay Packers: 2019 53-Man Roster Prediction
Specialists (3)
K Mason Crosby, P J.K. Scott & LS Hunter Bradley
There were no surprises here. The only player that had a real battle on his hands this offseason was Mason Crosby. The Green Bay Packers brought in Sam Ficken, who has performed well this offseason, but he hasn’t been so much better than Crosby to justify keeping him over the veteran that’s heading into his 13th season with the Packers. Crosby’s experience and clutch-kicking will give him the nod this year.
At punter, it’s been the J.K. Scott show and no one else. The team didn’t even bring in another punter this offseason. That could be for a couple of reasons. If they felt that doing that would shake his confidence, this could have been their vote of confidence. Maybe they’re just that confident in the former fifth-round pick. After a subpar rookie season, hopefully, he’s able to bounce back in his sophomore campaign.
Similar to Scott, Hunter Bradley has had no competition this offseason. After catching on with Green Bay last year, he had a solid year as the team’s long snapper, and he gave them no reason to bring in another player. Bradley will likely be the team’s long snapper as long as he’s healthy and performing at his current levels.
