Chase Claypool is attempting an NFL comeback after two years out of the league.

Claypool was among those trying out at Green Bay Packers camp on Friday, according to Ryan Wood of USA Today. The former Notre Dame wide receiver last played in the NFL in 2023.

At one point, Claypool was regarded as one of the more promising young wide receivers in the NFL. He caught nine touchdowns as a rookie in 2020 with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and started his career with back-to-back 800-yard receiving years. He quickly fell out of favor there, however, and quickly wore out his welcome elsewhere due to questions about his effort and attitude.

Claypool’s last NFL season came in 2023, when he caught just eight passes for 77 yards between the Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins. It was a long fall for someone who once called himself a top-3 NFL receiver.

Now 27, Claypool is just hoping to catch on in Green Bay. He would likely be little more than depth behind the likes of Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Matthew Golden.
