Green Bay Packers select Alabama cornerback Domani Jackson, Florida kicker Trey Smack in 6th round of Draft

  • On Saturday, the Green Bay Packers traded their two seventh-round picks to Seattle to select Florida kicker Trey Smack with the 216th overall pick in the NFL Draft.
  • Incumbent kicker Brandon McManus faces new competition after a 2025 season where missed field goals contributed to playoff and regular-season losses.
  • Smack finished his collegiate career with an 82.8% field goal accuracy, including 10 of 13 conversions from at least 50 yards, setting a Florida school record.
  • Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Smack was the "highest rated kicker on the board," calling the position important when scoring points in the league.
  • Releasing McManus would create $4.33 million in dead cap space while saving $945,097, presenting the organization with a complex financial decision regarding the incumbent.
