DIONDRE BOREL RUMORS
Packers News: Practice squad adds two, Borel shelved
The Packers continued shuffling players on their practice squad Wednesday, adding running back DuJuan Harris and guard Justin Cheadle. The practice squad had previously only had seven spots filled, and by shelving wide receiver Diondre Borel on practice squad/injured, the Packers now have a full eight-man practice squad. Harris spent the first 11 games in [...]
Four Reasons The Green Bay Packers Won’t Keep Six Wide Receivers
The Green Bay Packers receivers may not have room for one more.
Earlier in the offseason, I examined a couple ways the Green Bay Packers could shuffle around the 53-man roster to make room for six wide receivers. Both Diondre Borel and Tori Gurley are making a strong push to make the final cut, and the possibility is certainly there. Today, however, I’m going to play the Devil’s...
Diondre Borel and the Battle to be the Packers 6th Wide Receiver

Diondre Borel had an opportunity to separate himself from the competition in the race for the sixth wide receiver spot on the Packers’ roster Thursday night.
Did he do it? Well, not really. But he also...
Borel’s Problem Could Be Cobb
I jumped on the Diondre Borel bandwagon the very first week of training camp last summer and I’m still on it today. The former college quarterback has what it takes to play receiver in the NFL. Unfortunately, he might not get that chance in Green Bay. The Packers have five veteran receivers pretty much locked [...]
Rodgers gives Borel his endorsement
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers isn't the type of superstar player who gives out compliments to teammates just for a few feel-good moments in the name of team chemistry building. The methodical Green Bay Packers quarterback, who has never met a question that he didn't have an answer ready for, is just as quick to come with criticism when he feels it's warranted.
That...

QB Background Gives Borel Unique Perspective
The Packers have a wealth of talent at wide receiver headed into training camp. For the young prospects, it will be difficult to stand out. Diondre Borel already does in at least one regard.

“A given” that the Packers will keep 6 wide receivers
According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, it’s ”a given” that the Packers will keep 6 wide receivers on their 53 man roster this season. That’s very good news for the largely unknown Diondre Borel, a collegiate quarterback who drew rave reviews from both Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy this week for his work as a wide receiver in his 2nd season after going undrafted out...
Packers praise young Diondre Borel
A little known Packers wide receiver earned public praise today from two very important men, Head Coach Mike McCarthy and quarterback Aaron Rodgers. That wide receiver is Diondre Borel. Borel is not a well known player by any stretch of the imagination. He is a 2nd year player out of Utah State and was a collegiate quarterback, spending last season on the practice squad learning...

NFL teams rarely keep six receivers on their 53-man rosters. Seven is almost unheard of.
But if the young players comprising the Green Bay Packers depth chart at receiver continue to impress as they have to start this offseason, GM Ted Thompson may have no other choice than to select more than five for his final roster.
After the first day of the...
Tale Of The Tape At Wide Receiver
Former quarterback Borel will compete for a job at receiver
One of the most interesting - albeit hardly one of the most important – battles in training camp figures to be between Diondre Borel and Tori Gurley for the final wide receiver spot on the roster. Both undrafted free agents distinguished themselves last summer and both were given raises by general manager Ted Thompson...
