MARK INABINETT al.com have been more important that the Green Bay Packers’ special-teams coordinator worked with his brother for almost four seasons.
“He was a kicker that Rich has an extensive experience with,” Green Bay general manager Brian Gutekunst after the Packers picked Anders Carlson with the 207th choice in the 88th NFL Draft on Saturday. “He had his brother and has known him for quite a while. Crosby became an unrestricted free agent in March when the Packers did not re-sign him, although Gutekunst said he was “never going to close the door” on Crosby.
“It’s going to be a process that we have to work through and kind of see where it goes,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said of having two rookie kickers after relying on Crosby during his four seasons at the helm. “But I think we got two guys we’re pretty confident in. Obviously drafting Anders, and Rich has some history with him and, obviously, his brother working with him in Las Vegas, so we thought he was a really good fit for us.
In 2021, Carlson tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on an onside kick during Auburn’s 43-34 win over Mississippi State on Nov. 13 and missed the final three games of the season.
