Packers' Release of Harrell Paves Way for Young


The Graham Harrell era as the Green Bay Packers' backup quarterback is over. Less than 24 hours after Harrell entered the Packers' preseason game in relief of Aaron Rodgers and produced five scoreless drives, the team has decided to release him and go in a different direction, according to FOXSports.com NFL Insider Alex Marvez.

That different direction is likely to be Vince Young, who signed with Green Bay less than three weeks ago.

"I don't think about it," Harrell said Friday when asked about making the team. "I just try and make plays when my number is called and do my job, and that's our job all the time."

Friday night against the Seattle Seahawks, Harrell completed only 6 of 13 passes for 49 yards. Through three games Harrell went 23-for-42 for 169 yards with zero touchdowns and one interception.
