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 Buffalo Bills planned on having Elgersma participate in their rookie minicamp over the weekend, but he stayed in Green Bay instead. Elgersma joins a Packers quarterback room with Jordan Love, Malik Willis, and Sean Clifford.

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.
