Packers host pre-draft visit with Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton
Could Texas Tech QB Behren Morton be a backup developmental option for the Packers? He visited Green Bay before the 2026 draft.
The Green Bay Packers have hosted Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton on a top-30 visit in the lead-up to the 2026 NFL Draft, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel . Morton played five seasons for the Red Raiders, starting 36 games while completing 62. 8 percent of his passes for 8,989 passing yards and 71 touchdowns.
In 2025, he helped lead Texas Tech to the College Football Playoffs for the first time in school history. He is ranked 264th on the consensus big board, meaning he will likely be a late Day 3 pick or an undrafted free agent. The Packers are in the market for a backup quarterback after free agent Malik Willis reached a lucrative three-year deal with the Miami Dolphins.
They have not signed anyone in free agency, a sign they could be looking to address the position in the draft. At Texas Tech’s pro day, Morton ran the 40-yard dash in 4. 89 seconds, logged a 30.
5" vertical leap, and had a 9’5” broad jump. Injury history is one of the biggest concerns with Morton, who underwent shoulder surgery, suffered a hairline fracture in his right fibula, and dealt with multiple other ailments during his college career. He was forced to miss time in each season as a starter.
