Facebook Twitter Bluesky WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save Patrick Mulranen NFL players rarely switch from offense to defense. But Bo Melton, a 2017 Cedar Creek High School graduate and former Rutgers University standout wide receiver, doing just that with the Green Bay Packers. Melton played wide receiver for the Packers the last two seasons. However, the 26-year-old recently made the switch to cornerback.

| 8/09/25 | 'Definitely going to be one for the books:' Bo Melton is excited for his in-game debut at cornerback — and so are his Packers teammates and coaches. As it turns out, there is a tiny little bit of upside to Xavier McKinney's calf injury. The Green Bay Packers first-team All-Pro safety and defensive linchpin will get to watch his friend, teammate and — this still seems a little crazy, right? — fellow defensive back, Bo Melton, play his first NFL game at cornerback after transitioning from wide receiver during the offseason and throughout training camp. Now, having one of your superstars nursing a calf injury, which McKinney said earlier this week had been “lingering” and would not prevent him from being ready for the team's Sept. 7 regular-season opener against the rival Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field, is obviously sub-optimal.

| 1/16/25 | Ranking Packers 2025 free agents by re-sign priority. The Green Bay Packers will enter the offseason in 2025 with ample salary cap space and zero “must re-sign” free agents. It's a flexible place to be for general manager Brian Gutekunst, who has a chance to be selective in bringing back his own free agents and aggressive in targeting outside help. The Packers have six exclusive rights free agents — punter Daniel Whelan, receiver Bo Melton, safety Zayne Anderson, running back Emanuel Wilson, edge rusher Arron Mosby and offensive lineman Kadeem Telfort — and we can safely assume all six will return.
