VIDEO: Packers 4th-String QB Manny Wilkins Hurdles Chiefs Defender With Giant Leap
By Scott Rogust
In the final preseason game, players on the third and fourth strings are looking to showcase their talents, in hopes of cracking the 53-man roster. For Manny Wilkins, he's on the outside looking in as the fourth quarterback on the Green Bay Packers' depth chart. So, in their preseason finale against the Kansas City Chiefs, Wilkins showed head coach Matt LaFleur what he can do. But not with his arm-- no, he completely hurdled over Chiefs cornerback Mark Fields.

That will certainly open some eyes on Green Bay's coaching staff ahead of cut day. Will it be enough to keep him in a Packer uniform? Perhaps not.
But that doesn't mean it's any less embarrassing for Fields.
