Packers' Luke Musgrave: Working with first-team offense
Musgrave has been getting reps with the first-team offense at OTAs this week, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
After letting Robert Tonyan walk in free agency, the Packers didn't sign any veteran tight ends but did use second- and third-round picks on Musgrave and Tucker Kraft, respectively. Green Bay's tight end depth chart appears wide open, with Josiah Deguara also in the mix. As for Musgrave, coach Matt LaFleur said Musgrave is "different" and a quick learner. "He does have an elite trait in that he can flat fly, and he's a large target," LaFleur added. Musgrave is a plus athlete at 6-foot-6 and 253 pounds. He has a good chance to play heavy snaps as a rookie.

Packers' Luke Musgrave: Reeled in to Green Bay
The Packers selected Musgrave in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 42nd overall.
Musgrave (6-foot-6, 253 pounds) has prototypical size for a starting tight end and boasts plus athleticism on that frame, logging a 4.61-second 40-yard dash and 125-inch broad jump out of Oregon State. Musgrave's athletic testing and frame make him a credible seam threat, especially on play-action calls. The question with Musgrave is to what degree his skill set can develop -- a player as athletic as him should have caught more passes at Oregon State, but Musgrave finished his college career with just 47 receptions in 20 games over four years. However, given the state of the position for the Packers, he seemingly still stands a good chance of emerging as Green Bay's starting tight end in the near future.
