The Packers selected Clifford in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 149th overall.
Clifford started 46 games at Penn State and kept Will Levis -- a second-round selection in the 2023 draft -- on the bench before Levis ultimately transferred to Kentucky. He is fearless in the pocket and has decent mobility, but he lacks arm strength, a factor that will likely limit him to a backup role throughout his NFL career. In the short term, he'll battle with Danny Etling for the second quarterback job in Green Bay.
