Packers' Mystery QB Visit Was Virginia Tech's Kyron Drones

The late reveal signals Green Bay's interest in a low-cost, dual-threat backup behind Jordan Love.

Overview

  • Packers insider Bill Huber identified Virginia Tech quarterback Kyron Drones as the previously undisclosed Top-30 visitor to Green Bay.
  • The meeting capped a sparse quarterback slate for the Packers that featured only two prospects: Drones and Texas Tech's Behren Morton.
  • Reporting indicates Green Bay views Drones as a late-round or priority undrafted option to replace Malik Willis in the backup role rather than to compete with Jordan Love.
  • Drones is a Baylor transfer with dual-threat traits who posted 1,919 passing yards, 17 touchdowns and 9 interceptions in 2025, plus 644 rushing yards and 9 rushing scores.
  • Top-30 visits are limited in-house evaluations for up to 30 prospects, so using one on a projected low-cost quarterback points to targeted developmental interest.
