Jalen Morton - Pro Football Rumors

NFL Reserve/Futures Contracts: 2/1/21

February 1st, 2021 at 4:29pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

Today’s reserve/futures deals will be posted here:

Indianapolis Colts

QB Jalen Morton, WR J.J. Nelson

Tennessee Titans

DB Maurice Smith

Nelson has a bit more NFL experience than your typical reserve/futures signee. A fifth-round pick of the Cardinals in 2015, Nelson made some real noise with Arizona for a while. A speedy deep-threat who has averaged a whopping 17.4 yards per reception on his 85 career catches, he had 568 yards and six touchdowns in 2016. He topped 500 yards again in 2017, but quickly fell out of favor and wasn’t re-signed after his rookie deal ran out.

He signed with the Raiders in 2019 but was released after catching only four passes, and then was in camp with the 49ers this past August before getting hurt and then cut. He signed to the Bills practice squad a month ago, but lasted only a few days in Buffalo. Still only 28, it wouldn’t be shocking if he manages to crack a roster again as a field-stretcher.

Packers Sign 15 Undrafted Free Agents

April 30th, 2020 at 12:59pm CST by Dallas Robinson

The Packers have become the latest team to bring in a class of undrafted free agents. Green Bay announced that it’s agreed to terms with the following UDFAs:

Jalen Morton, QB (Prairie View A&M)
Patrick Taylor, RB (Memphis)
Jordan Jones, FB (Prairie View A&M)
Darrell Stewart, WR (Michigan State)
Travis Bruffy, T (Texas Tech)
Zack Johnson, G (North Dakota State)
Willington Previlon, DL (Rutgers)
Tipa Galeai, LB (Utah State)
Krys Barnes, LB (UCLA)
Delontae Scott, LB (SMU)
Marc-Antoine Dequoy, CB (Montreal)
Stanford Samuels, CB (Florida State)
Will Sunderland, CB (Troy)
Henry Black, S (Baylor)
Frankie Griffin, S (Texas State)

As you may have heard, the Packers didn’t select a wide receiver at any point during the 2020 draft. Instead, Stewart will represent the only collegiate wideout added to Green Bay’s roster. In his senior season, the 6’2″, 216-pound Stewart posted 49 receptions for 697 yards and two touchdowns. Lance Zierlein of NFL.com praised Stewart’s size and willingness to block, but noted the ex-Spartan’s “catch technique may need to be stripped and rebuilt.”
