GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers drafted three receivers in 2022 and they drafted three more in 2023.

An undrafted free agent, however, was one of the big stories from Friday’s preseason victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Malik Heath’s dominating block of Marvell Tell, in which he drove the safety about 10 yards downfield and then out of bounds, was the talk of the receivers room when they gathered to watch film.

“Oh, they still were going crazy,” Heath said after Sunday’s practice. “You can see the whole sideline get hyped for it. I didn’t know if they seen it but that whole sideline got hyped. They’re still getting hyped. That’s how they are in the meetings. It was still hyped. They were just screaming.”

Friday’s game, even though it was just preseason, was a dream come true for Heath. whose stock is on the rise.

“Even throughout the whole training camp, it was like one of those things, I’m just steady working, praying,” he said. “But stepping out on that field, that’s the one you dream of as a little kid, like 6 years old, playing in the backyard with your dad. That’s the moment you dream of. I was just stuck in the moment for a long time. It was so surreal.”
