Valdes-Scantling started the season with the San Francisco 49ers and played in five games before he was injured and placed on injured reserve. The 49ers released him on Oct. 18.
The Green Bay Packers selected him in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft after he played at N.C. State and South Florida. He became a target for Rodgers when the four-time MVP was still celebrating wins with the cheeseheads of Lambeau Field.
