Grant DuBose on the Packers

DuBose met the local media via conference call on Saturday. Here are some highlights.

On joining Packers: "Just ready to get in there and work, see the city ... Green Bay's a historical place."

On joining a young offense: "Jordan Love is gonna be taking over the offense ... they drafted a lot of young guys ... it'll be interesting to see how the young group gels and see what we can bring to the NFL."

What NFL players he wants to be like: "As I got to high school and transitioned to receiver, I liked the guys like former Packer Davante Adams. I like to model and take things from his game. I like the bigger guys like AJ Brown, DK (Metcalf)." 

NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein’s take on Grant DuBose

"Raw receiving prospect with just two years of major college experience under his belt. DuBose possesses NFL size with an expansive catch radius. He’s talented at winning fade routes and jump balls, but he struggles to win in the early stages of the route against press and tight man coverage. DuBose is still in the learning stages but already displays some route talent. A lack of separation quickness could make his battle for a roster spot more challenging."
