The Green Bay Packers initially had an Aaron Rodgers problem, but now they seem to have a first year player problem as yet another player has decided to end their career before it actually began.
Last week, Green Bay offensive lineman Simon Stepaniak, who was taken in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, retired as he was coming off ACL surgery. The former Indiana Hoosiers offensive lineman didn’t play in a single game during his rookie season.
On Tuesday, wide receiver Bailey Gaither also elected to hang up his cleats and retire. Gathier signed with Green Bay in the spring as a college free agent following the draft.
He spent six years at San José State, redshirting as a freshman.
Gaither played in 44 games at San Jose State during his collegiate career and hauling in a total of 135 receptions for 2,227 yards and 18 touchdowns.
