Drones was released by the Packers on August 14 after just one preseason appearance; the UDFA QB signed for only $5,000 in guarantees (10th among 12 UDFA QB signings) and struggled in the fourth quarter against Pittsburgh with one incompletion on his only pass attempt and three sacks, including one on a screen where he failed to release the ball. Head coach Matt LaFleur's stated preference for three quarterbacks on the roster made Drones expendable.NegativeRoleAug 14, 2026
Drones lost the third-string QB competition to Kyle McCord after a poor preseason outing. Across six snaps, he completed 0 of 1 passing attempts, took three sacks including one for a 17-yard loss that moved the Packers from their own 22 to the five-yard line, and appeared to panic on a screen pass. The source characterizes Drones as a low-end prospect whose only selling point is athleticism; his college tape at Virginia Tech showed a sub-58% completion rate and lack of passing touch, suggesting he cannot develop into an NFL-caliber passer despite rushing for 1,800+ yards as a runner.NegativeProjectionAug 14, 2026
