A prominent former Tulane football star was signed to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad after being released by the Green Bay Packers.
football history gets a fresh start in the NFL, as Michael Pratt signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad on Wednesday.released by the Green Bay PackersPratt, a Boca Raton native, had indicated his dream was always to play back in his home state, where he became the school's all-time passing leader against FAU last season. He has his shot to return after a puzzling draft process.
Green Bay traded for Malik Willis from Tennessee, and the writing was on the wall for the quarterback room, one that lacked NFL game experience. Willis completed 4 passes in three games last season. It's hard for seventh-round picks to make a splash. Covering Tulane's quarterback competition awarded a lot of perspective.

It's tough to surmount the hurdles of just a few short months in the NFL prior to the 53-man roster cutdown.
