GREEN BAY, Wis. — Quarterback Alex McGough has signed with the Green Bay Packers less than a month after getting selected as the most valuable player of the United States Football League. The 27-year-old McGough stepped in for an injured J'Mar Smith early in the USFL season and led the Birmingham Stallions to the league title. He threw for 243 yards and four touchdowns in a championship game victory over the Pittsburgh Maulers. The Packers don't have any backup quarterbacks with any NFL playing experience as Jordan Love prepares to take over as the starter after the trade of four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers.
