Packers Consider Reunion with QB Sean Clifford Beat Out in 2023 Amid QB3 Flux

GREEN BAY, Wis. — August 2025 — With Jordan Love easing back from a left-thumb procedure and the back end of the depth chart still in motion, the Green Bay Packers are exploring a reunion with Alex McGough — the veteran quarterback beaten out by then-rookie Sean Clifford for a 53-man spot in 2023. Today, the room reads Love / Malik Willis / Clifford / Taylor Elgersma, but the staff continues to evaluate the QB3/QB4 lane as camp compresses. 

McGough’s case is simple: he already knows the building. After winning USFL MVP and signing with Green Bay in 2023, he landed on the practice squad when Clifford claimed the roster job, then transitioned to wide receiver in 2024 before an injury settlement and a late-season PS return. A short-notice workout would cost little and could stabilize installs while Love ramps and the staff gauges Elgersma’s curve. 

McGough’s perspective:
Getting beat out in ’23 wasn’t easy to swallow. But seeing what Sean’s done since, you tip your cap. This time I’m back — wearing the green and gold — to compete and keep pushing. And just so he knows, I’m grinding every day to settle an old score with myself.

After the remarks, McGough would head straight into refresh mode — verbiage, protections, and timing in Green Bay’s motion-heavy West Coast menu — while the staff scripts backed-up, two-minute, and play-action periods to check rhythm and decision-making. Internally, there are no promises attached to any reunion; the mandate is simple: raise the floor, keep practice clean, and be ready if called.

For the Packers, this isn’t about rewriting 2023. It’s about earning 2025. If McGough steadies the day-to-day and keeps the operation on schedule, he’ll give himself a real shot at the QB3 seat — or a protected practice-squad role when the 53 locks. Either way, in Titletown the standard doesn’t change: show up, stack good days, and honor the green and gold.

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
