The Green Bay Packers bolstered their practice squad on Saturday with linebacker Michael Barrett and guard Marquis Hayes. Barrett, once a seventh-round draft pick by the Carolina Panthers, brings experience from multiple teams. He looks to prove himself and overcome being overlooked.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers filled their practice squad on Saturday by signing linebacker Michael Barrett and guard Marquis Hayes.
He was traded to the Seattle Seahawks during training camp, and he served practice-squad stints with the Seahawks and Cleveland Browns. The Browns released him last month. “It's kind of just been my normal throughout high school, throughout college. I've always had to make a name for myself and work my way from the bottom.”“I really don't see the size thing as being an issue. None of that matters,” Barrett said. “I'm taking on a block, like, I don't have to be the biggest one to slip that block or go around and to make that tackle. There's other ways to make a tackle than to take on a block or do it the basic way.
"The fact that I've become the all-time winningest player in Michigan history, it left me speechless when Coach Harbaugh came and told me,”. “Just thinking about all of the alumni, all of the great players who have come through here, being a part of all these wins. To say that I have more wins than every one of them, that's a huge accomplishment."
