Bo Melton, who delivered elite production down the stretch last season, said he’s ready for more after making the biggest play of Tuesday’s practice at Packers OTAs.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers’ offense was one of the more dangerous in the NFL during the second half of last season. It might be unstoppable if the Bo Melton who made a splash down the stretch – and did again at OTAs on Tuesday – can become a regular contributor.
A seventh-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2022, Melton joined the Packers late during his rookie season. After failing to make Green Bay’s roster in 2023, he made his NFL debut at Detroit on Thanksgiving and made his first NFL reception against Tampa Bay a few weeks later. At Minnesota in Week 17, he caught six passes for 105 yards – the team’s first 100-yard game of the season – and contributed five receptions for 62 yards in the finale against Chicago.
“I think it’s a great story just being persistent and to continue to push forward even, when maybe the stacks are put up against you,” coach Matt LaFleur said. “He brings a lot of energy to our team. It’s cool to see a guy that got here two seasons ago from Seattle, to see him battle. He’s on the practice squad for the majority of last season, then getting an opportunity to go out there and play and he was our first receiver to gain 100 yards in a game.
Melton started the day on the north side of the field with the starters and delivered the play of the day. Melton ran a post route, got behind safety Anthony Johnson and hauled in Love’s bomb for a touchdown of about 75 yards.
