The Green Bay Packers reached across the border for unconventional quarterback insurance on Monday, signing Taylor Elgersma, a Canadian prospect who only began playing football in 10th grade, after the undrafted 23-year-old participated in the team's rookie minicamp on a tryout basis.

The Green Bay Packers are signing rookie quarterback Taylor Elgersma, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. A Canadian quarterback who went unselected in the 2025 NFL draft, Elgersma was invited as a tryout player to the Packers rookie minicamp following the draft but is now a member of the team's 90-man offseason roster.

Elgersma may not be a familiar name to fans in the United States, but he "won Canada's version of the Heisman Trophy last year" when he took home the 2024 Hec Crighton Trophy, per Pelissero.
